Hello friends,
Some of you might have already viewed this picture.
As the mother stem didn't move at all under this spring climate, I cut back
the stem little by litte until a white center portion was seen.
Unfortunately, however, from the top of the stem to the bottom, the center
was always rotten despite the outer stem was solid and green.
It is quite funny, because the sucker was alive and deveops new leaves.
Something wrong must have happened with the mother stem, otherwise this
kind of thing could not happen because the the mother and sucker stood in
the same place under the same conditions.
Is Raja Puri also prone to this kind of phenomenon?
Stan
