Thanks festivus, I was starting to wonder if anyone ever checked in on this forum!?!? LOL!
I can't imagine what caused this either. I checked for possible insect damage, and could find none. I just took these pics, and the new growth is coming on strong. The second pic shows the old stem/trunk. Seems that I may just have an unsolvable mystery here.
But thank you much for looking, and it's nice to meet you! :-)
