Hi.
I have just noticed that some of my acers have a light
white/grey
mould in dots on some of the leaves. any ideas on which
fungicide or
bacterialcide I could use to get rid of this mould?
You probably should ID what it is first. I don't think the UK
has such things as Agricultural Extension Agents, but if you can
find a plant disease expert you'd do well to take some leaves in
to him or her. Maybe a nursery could help.
Meanwhile, try not to water the trees from the top -- wetting the
leaves. Alcohol on a swab and wiped on the leaves can get rid of
a light infection (TEST a leaf first to see if damage occurs
after a day passes!).
Move the trees into full sun, at least for a while.
