Monica, thank you very much for your help. The lesions (about 10) are all over & around the trunk from ground level all the way up, so I'm afraid there is no healthy part to cut to. (Another view of different part of trunk below ). Maybe if it's some kind of rot my other seedlings won't be affected, I'm hoping:) Thank you again, Kathy
Just toss it! Pot and all just to be safe.
Then I would dispose of it kwell. I still dont think, that it is SB because it needs a longer time to develop than two weeks.
I would follow kells advice and sterilize the clippers.
monika & kell, thank you both for your help. I'm tossing it, but still very glad to hear it's not SB. Thanks again
may I ask the cross? I am keeping notes to see if parentage is involved in things like this.
spring, I'm sorry I don't know the named cross as these were "mixed seeds & yellow orange & peach crosses". All the others are doing extremely well, some are forming y's & have buds-at 4 months!;) This was so odd, as if the bark was decaying all over the trunk. Oh well, it's in the trash & hope I don't see this again.
Kathy
Thanks that still is helpful info I appreciate it very much.
I had forgetten how ugly SB is!
Possibly SB on a three-year-old Charles Grimaldi:

Clare, it is SB! I am sorry about that.
Thanks, Monika, for confirming that for me. I appreciate that. Thanks again.
Thought another look at picture of SB would be helpful to us also.
Thanks for bumping this up, Kell. This was a great thread of SB on several different plants. I think that helps
No sense getting paranoid over it, but sure makes sense to be able to recognize it fast and get rid of it before it spreads. Funny, whenever there are clusters of outbreaks like now, I look at my brugs and my eyes search all the limbs for it. Then I slowly forget about it, and stop looking for it.
HELP!
I just received these Brugmansia cuttings 8/24/05 and am very concerned about the lesions on them. Is there a chance they are infected with Stangelbrand or, if not, another disease or infection that may spread?
That is typical of Herrenhauser Garten. I have four HG plants, and all the stems look exactly like that. They start out green and end up looking like that. I don't know why that it is, but it is normal and nothing to worry about.
I just threw out a Herringhauser Garten rooted cutting because it looked Cathy's. Did see any sense in keeping it around I have a few more of them. It is good to know this is typical of HG
I call it my winter look. All my versicolors look like that after a cold winter outside. Ugly, ugly!! They still put out good green shoots though. They are much more sensitive to cold.
Clare, I didn't know you had such luck with Herrenhauser Garten. I have 3 or 4 big trees of it and they have not flowered once. I had buds late last year but they all dropped. Nothing this year, not even buds to tease. I am waiting on green bin room and then they will be gone.
Yes, my Ecuador Pink looks like that too, now that I think about it, after a cold winter. A couple of years ago, I threw out a Versicolor Peach tree because it looked like that, and I thought it was diseased. Silly me.
Kell, I only had two flowers last year on my HG, but I noticed just the other day that I have buds forming now on them. Last year, I got my two blooms around Halloween so they are early this year. We'll see if they stay on. It may be too hot for them to stay. Mine are in part sun, Kell, under some Magnolia trees. We're so close to blooming time now. Give them one last chance to show you some blooms before you trash them. I bet this is the year for you.
Ah Clare!! I would hope so. I sure would like to see just one bloom up close and personal. They have been saved for another week. My DH just filled up the green bin with last weekends cuttings from our apricot, banana and apple tree. So they better bud up fast. LOL. I have even sprayed them with messenger in the past hoping that would do the trick. No luck. Yours is sure pretty!
Yes, EP here gets the stem crud too. Versi's just do that I guess. It sure looks bad enough to be a terrible disease. They need a dermatologist. LOL
I just bit the bullet and ordered one of those. Thanks for the heads up. Now I won't be so quick to think it's got a fatal disease. I can't just cast "Harry" aside.
LOL, Kell, about the Dermatologist! I'm glad your DH filled up the green bin. Promise me you will give yours until Halloween to bloom. After that, I won't blame you if you trash them. I think they bloom best when the weather cools off. The other thing I do, and I don't know if this makes a difference or not, but I keep mine very rootbound. Roots are coming out of the drainage holes on all of them. I just gave two HG plants bigger containers recently, but they've been badly rootbound for more than a year now. My first one started to bloom on 10-15-2004.

I usually root brugs in water and all those little bumps swell and produce a root in water. Ive always assumed they are normal. Cam
steadycam3,
It's normal for that portion of cuttings that are rooting in water to produce those white nodules.
The bumps and things this thread is showing come from a virulent and extremely infectious disease and has nothing to do with rooting cuttings unless the cutting has the disease.
Betty, I was referring to Clare's post. Perhaps should have made that more clear. Cam
Cam,
Are you referring to Clare's August 27, 2005 post? If so, she was responding to Cathyg01's post and photo of 3 cuttings of Herrenhauser Garten from August 25, 2005. I don't know if you are familiar with Herrenhauser Garten, but its older branches always look like they have been hit by a massive case of the scabs. Although the little bumps look like brown versions of the white root nodules on cuttings rooted in water, they are not. The brown scabby bumps appear on the entire plant as the branches start to mature. You can see them on the branches in Clare's August 27th's 8:28PM post. My Herrenhauser Garten had the same thing which appears to be the norm for that particular Brug.
