: Sounds like it may have been caused by
: moisture being caught behind the wrap.
: I'm assuming you kept the tree wrapped
: all winter. It's really not necessary
: to keep them wrapped all winter, only
: when the temps are going to drop below
: freezing for an extended period of
: time. On nicer/warmer winter days
: (above freezing) it's good to unwrap
: the tree and let it breath a little.

: I live in Albuquerque,NM and have a
: Mexican Palm that I planted outside
: five years ago. Each winter I wrap it
: in insulation and it has survived our
: winters. This year when I unwrapped
: the trunk I noticed an area about 3 in
: wide and a 12 inches long that was
: spongy. I dug out the wet area
: (appears to be sap) and sprayed it with
: prunning paint. It appears very
: healthy and is producing frongs like
: crazy.

: Does anyone know what the spongy area
: might have been caused by and how I
: might correct it?
