Hi all I bought this a couple of years ago (From a friend!) at the Donny Bonsai Bootsale and recently I noticed what looks like new growth bursting out all over the trunk, The little clusters seem furry and soft, I have a niggly feeling that it's some kind of fungal growth but hopefully it's just back budding!    Cheers, John

Could it be moss? I’ve had moss appear from nowhere on a trunk looking a bit like that. |

Looks like back budding to me. Did you feed well last year? Fungus is usually brown jelly in appearance. |

Hi Daryl, I wondered if it was moss but it seems to be growing from the truck rather than on it, It's breaking out all over!! Jay, I thought it may be some other fungal infection rather than the orange slimey Pear rust, I don't really feed my trees a hell of a lot (Probably why they look rubbish!!) but as it turned out I only bought it in september last year so it could be my mate fed it well, I'll be seeing him on monday so i'll ask Cheers

Nah, my vote is still with moss. Might be proved wrong though

I mistook moss for rust once - it's easily done. Just leave it and observe and it's true identity will be revealed in due course as it grows. |

Well done Daryl!! It turned out that this was some kind of moss!!, When I tested how well it was affixed to the tree, It came away easily!!  John
