Am I the only one seeing that hole in the trunk near the bottom left? Might be just an angle but might also want to check for a stem borer as that looks a little concerning.
I have a tarp setup to cover for rain but it’s been a champ otherwise. No caterpillars and no mold, both are always an issue here but not for this one.
Outdoor Frostette really stacking with weeks to go, plant is loaded with monsters. Been covered since yesterday with the rain in nor cal, different angles on the pics
