Hi all

After a couple weeks of rain I seem to be getting algae growing on my soil and trunks.
Can this be harmful and how can I get rid of it.

I know that drying out will help but we keep getting rain!!

If no one else's pipes in: the algae should go away once you start using chlorinated water again.

Soil looks damp, is it drying out at all. I think constant wet soil is more of an issue then moss/algae.

How's the tree looking? Healthy otherwise? I've been told if the moss or growth in the soil looks greener then your tree than you could be in trouble.
