Re: stem split
Dave,
It really depends if the split is starting to open the flesh on the
shoulder. I myself don't like to plug the holes dust with sulphur or captan
and keep it dry. Some use a fan to help dry the area. Look at your
cultural practices that may have caused the split and back off .. Hope this
helps MB
