Seedling
hey everyone i recently purchased this mugo pine and did not notice the large area of deadwood on the main trunk as the bark was still intact at the time and i did not pull away the dead bark that looked to be chewed away until the day after i got the tree home and there seem to be 3 pin holes that you can see in the pictures. it appears that it happened quite some time ago and has healed but if it is some sort of bug or fungal disease i would like to get it sorted out so i do not risk having it spread to any of my other trees. there is another smaller branch that seems to have the same issue, it mainly seems like the top of the branch sort of died back
, overall the tree seems healthy other then this, any input would be greatly appreciated.![275930 275930](https://www.bonsainut.com/data/attachments/265/265153-80ef11345d233fd06f3bc1b4b8f5627c.jpg?hash=gO8RNF0jP9)
