Has anyone seen this before/know what this is? It is on a pretty big outdoor plant that hasn't started flowering yet, just noticed it today. I noticed it while spraying some neem so that is why it has a drop of water on itIMG_0202.JPGIMG_0201.JPGI assume it is some kind of fungis or mold, I see it on a couple branches, it is next to 5 other big plants so just wondering should I try to clean it up with something, should I cut those branches, should I just cut the whole plant make sure it doesn't contaminate the rest of them?

Decided to take a closer look cut the branch down and split it in half to see how far the damage went and was very surprised to see this, what is it anyone know?View attachment 3982306
:o.....Catapillar!! :(


Thats yr culprit.


I would recommend BT (bacillus thurgeniesis) ....... the catapillar needs to eat part of the plant that was sprayed with bt. The bacteria sickens the catapillar and it stops eating. Problem is theyre eating on the inside of the plant where u cant really spray. But it would stop new catapillars from taking hold. They can be devastating. Still i would def start with BT or you could be in for some heavy losses to mold when flowers appear. The catapillar will get in the stem and steal nutes and water and every bud down stream dies, then molds.

Just my $0.02. Anyone can please feel free to correct me or add your own comments.

Thank you, I do use BT fairly consistently I don't think this eats the leaves unfortunately so doesn't seem to affect it
