Just freezer burned leaves, I leave to fall off on their pown. But stem rot is bad.

If you see a stem rotting, you better cut it off now for it can spread, I would think. Have a sealer ready to use though as soon as you cut.

For some reason I have rot on my huge Rosamond. It is in the middle of the tree too which is odd. I would think frost rot would have affected the top branches. I need to cut those limbs off ASAP before it spreads down further. I have been waiting till the rains stop. I probably will get my husband to saw them off in the next couple of days.

This is not the best time to make a big wound on a brug. The cold and the wet spells rot!
