I thought I'd wade through the leaves to have a look at the stump today and was surprised to see so many leaves, male flowers and small vines poking out in all directions. It's a right mess, as you can see. I was also surprised - and concerned - that the stump appears to be oozing some fluid, see inside the white circles. I don't know if this is due to an infection that's taken hold, or if the roots are taking up too much water for the leaves to transpire so it's bursting out of the stem. It's been much cooler this week than it has been for ages, and I have lowered the watering but perhaps not as much as I should have done. Either way I chucked a load of powdered sulphur over it and put a fan in there blowing 24/7. I don't know what else I can do apart from remove a load of the unwanted growth, is this advisable?
