I cut down the Arborvitae bushes that were in front of the fence. Then cut them into 8" to 12" lengths and sealed the ends with anchor seal. Then placed them on a wire rack, with a wire riser to keep them separate so the air can circulate around each piece. End of last week I went to check them, and noticed there appeared to be some green mold growing on some.
They were stored away from the wall, close to the floor in a basement. Under a bench on an outside wall.
I removed them and washed the outside of all with bleach water and plastic scrub brush removing all obvious mold including some that was growing on the sealed ends of the limbs. Then dried them off. Then moved them to another wire rack, were some more were drying with no mold growth on them.
Does any body else every run into this problem, and do they have any other solutions to it?
Or did I miss something after cleaning them with a dry brush and sealing the ends as the did have moisture other then what was in side of the tree's.
