Is this a kumquat disease? (forum)

LE_Ellie starts with ...
Hi everybody,

I think my little kumquat tree may have a disease. This is the second long golden spiral to come out of an apparent lesion on a branch. Some of the leaves also have brown patches and the tree keeps losing leaves.

Can anyone recognize this problem or disease?

The tree is growing on my window box in Germany. We bought it last winter from a nursery here and it had about 5 kumquats growing at the time. They looked / tasted normal.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hello, I'm wondering if a boring insect has caused this long thread like thing to be pushed out of a branch. If this is the case then it is best to prune off inside this lesion and destroy it. Check the cut to make sure there is no insect tunnel visible. Kind Regards, Pauline
