    Foam during a rain

    Thanks. This tree is having one of its spurs die. It has many but the spur that is dead is above where the foam comes from the bark. I climbed it today and the outter bark is soft and the cork and pith is not strong and tight. I cut some of it hut the owner feels like it will com back to life.
