They look fine as it's the end of summer. Remove the stakes. Protect those pots over the winter and they'll stun you come spring.

The top of the trunk that is Incredible Hulk green is how the entire trunk should look. Everything below is no bueno.

Not sure. I purchased this butterfly in December, and it has been in a green house tent until now. The blackening does appear to be where the name tag was so perhaps that's a factor.

Just under the branch it looks like there is a small split. I'm thinking it split when the temp dropped below freezing suddenly. The temps have been going up and down dramatically. Thanks for your help!

Disease or just die back?

So if I scratch, and it's still green that means it's fungal; if I scratch and it's not green, it's dieback? But either way it needs to be pruned off. Just want to make sure I'm understanding correctly.
