Post #3094101

Got this at a greenhouse about 10-11 years ago - neglected in a corner all by itself.

I'm almost positive that it's one of the Brachychitons (I had it narrowed down and wrote it down somewhere at home but haven't searched for it lately) but note that mine still has 'juvenile' leaves.

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to remove or minimize the salt/lime (whichever it is) buildup on the caudex?
It's a very 'woody' caudex with many 'fissures'...not sure if I can remove this buildup or not.
