    Hello, I have a ficus plant that has grown 1 large and 1 small wart looking bump on th trunk. Can anyone tell me what that is and if it something I should be concerned about?

    Thanks,
    Lewis

    Hi Lewis,
    Looks like crown gall to me. I hope not! From this site:
    http://mrec.ifas.ufl.edu/Foliage/folnotes/ficus.htm

    To sterilize tools and pots, use a solution of one part bleach to 9 parts water to wash. Rinse well.

    Hope this helped,
    Newt
