Hi,
I'm new here, but not entirely new to bonsai.
I recieved a ficus retusa/microcarpa from a nursery recently on wich some of the leaves seemed to have a viral infection and others 'lumps' wich apear to be some kind of wasp gall wich I assume will have no reason to recur once they are removed.
the viraly infected leaves are similar in look to variagation wich I am aware is also a result of viral infection.
My question is, -considering the plant was not meant to be a variagated variety, does anyone know wether this is harmless to other plants and wether it is likely to spread to my othe figs?
I know that viruses are notoriously duificult to identify exactly due to thier numerosity, but I'm wondering if there are any other experienced fig growers who have seen this before and could answer my question.
I will hapily add pictures If someone could tell me how, I cant seem to work it out.
Thanks in advance[/img]
Can't help with the virus question, but the image one I gave

Pretty much you upload it to any server on the web (photobucket, your own website, other image hosting platform) and then add the direct link to the file (typically starts with https:// and ends with .jpg) into your post, highlight that and hit the "img" button. Voila...

btw sorry my posts are late and/or sporadic, its just I have alot to do.
--my problem is that although it is a very nice tree, I cant be sure that the markins are just genetic.
If they were they would just be an interesting 'quirk' of the tree, but I couldn't risk passing it on to another tree that that has all green leaves and risk destroying its character.
Thanks for your help.
