I have a young indoor tree, the specific name I cannot remember. There are four seperate trunks and when I bought it, the small trunks were intertwined, braided. Well recently there has been a growth forming on one of the trunks. And now if you follow that specific trunk all the way up to the branches all of the leaves on that trunk have died. In a matter of one day. I was wondering if this was the cause? Should I remove this tumor? If I do will it kill the whole plant?
Please Help!

Sounds like you maybe have a ficus tree (ficus benjamina) or possibly a money tree (pachira aquatica)

Does anyone know how i would go about posting a picture?

i also use photobucket...it's free (they have a pay service as well - you get more storage space plus a couple of other extras) and it's really easy to use!

When "one" of my ficus braided trunks (I think there where five altogether) died, lost all leaves and branches dried out while the others stayed green and healthy, it just didn't seem make sense. Come to find out, it was millipedes in the soil. All of a sudden there were "hundreds" of baby millipedes, about twenty adults as well.

My guess is, the babies were probably born in that trees root-ball section, and they were probably eating the roots up, adults too!

I got rid of all the millipedes and had to cut out that one tree away from the others (upper branched part) kind of like separating Siamese twins!

So, it could be a possibility that's what might be going on with yours, so you might want to check that out, otherwise I don't have a clue to why just one of your braided trees died or seemed to die.
