Hey, Leaves look like they’re drying up and about to fall off and I noticed this mold/rot on the trunk. What should I do? Cut it off or spray it? Seems to be drying the entire trunk.

Hi. I would spray it with fungicide without delay so that it doesn't spread.

Thank you! I ended up cutting it off, to stop the spread, but it looks it's still not recovering.

The fungal spores would infect more of the tree, so cutting off part of it won't be enough. You should thoroughly spray with fungicide.
