This tree is crazy looking. It started growing in a pot outta no where in 2015 and it started out kinda crooked growing from a bulb like root trunk. Now the trunk has rainbow colors and a weed wacker accident in 2017 left wound and it didn’t heal. Will this tree be able to grow even though it is growing caddywhompus ? The trunk is nein bright rainbow colored and it looks to me like it is sick ? Help anyone know what this is all about ?
