Hello,
I recently styled a Chinese juniper including the beginnings of some deadwood features. For now I’ve just peeled the bark and cambium and was going to wait to carve until the tree develops a little more. The problem is the deadwood has black streaking on it which almost looks like mold. Any idea what this is, how to remove and how to prevent? Not sure I can avoid it getting wet with watering and rain. Thanks!
