Don't know how many of you may have seen my picture of this Rosamond cutting I rec'd. It continued in this deteriorative state until I finally removed the trunk and kept just one cutting that had no brown spots on it.

I have no idea is SB could have been the culprit, but I eliminated every other bug possibility and tried to carefully monitor waterings and very low fertilization so as not to shock it. Also, I have varied it's lighting amounts with no change in the curled leaf structure. The cutting I took just this past week still has the curled leaves which I will continue to monitor.

Here is an interesting question for me. IF, and I am saying ONLY IF, this particular cutting may have had SB, and I removed the infectious piece, do you think the cutting would continue to host the disease?

Here's a picture I had posted when first struggling with this cutting.
