we have olive growing and still growing well except well the last week it was hot and i thought i would shade her i used a flannel sheet and forgot to take it off the next day at night after a 95 degree day we went to mesure olive and well she was mushy on top almost like she had a big blister that popped ugly pumpkin skin but we felt her wound and althought nasty to look at and touch she was not soft past the burns as i will call them so we left her alone and gave her plenty of air. fast foward 2 days later her skin looked to be healing over white scabish stuff on the wound and under it was solid orange hard pumpkin skin i took pics there in the diary well today we went out as usual to mesure and black dots all over her with scabbed area like shes a damaltion sis scraped off some of the white with the black on it and under this scab we can see its hard and looks normal what to do let her get attacked by whatever those black circles are or try and remove the scabish thing all together and hope its enough is there something i can use on her to prevent what looks like mold forming help us shes still a good grower.

I would try a very dilute mix of water and bleach. Scrub with a toothbrush to disinfect. Rinse with fresh water after. Hope this helps.
