Thanks for the reply.That's a good one, I've seen spray on fertilizers blacken Arbs. I've seen phomopsis fungus blacken Arbs. None of which looks like that.
I'm guessing it's something abiotic that was brushed or splattered on your plant. Have you tried to wipe it off? Is it isolated or is it all over the Arb?
They did move it with a small bobcat type thing. I'll try to wipe it off today and see if that helps discern what it is. I've just been worried that it's something like black knot but for arborvitaes, but I can't seem to find anything like that when I search.Good sized plant, is it possible it was planted using equipment like a bobcat?
You could be looking at grease from the machine.
I was able to wipe off a lot of it. The leaves are still green under it. It doesn't smell like anything. I guess it could be some type of grease. A fungus wouldn't be able to be easily wiped away, right?Good sized plant, is it possible it was planted using equipment like a bobcat?

Ok, thanks for the help! Relieved it's not a fungus.Yes, fungus won't just wipe off, I think it's just grease from the equipment used to plant.
Will fungus glow under a black light like mold?Yes, fungus won't just wipe off, I think it's just grease from the equipment used to plant.
