The object is to get all the infected area out cut back till you get fresh
desease free stem area then treat with a dry fungicide.........perhaps
powder sulfur............some have set up fan to help dry it out.......keep
in a cool spot warm will just promote more......thats about all i know you
can do hope it works best of luck....... brock
