Dear all, can you please help me?
I've planted an olive tree in September and it had done quite well but last
night
I've discovered that it is full of white sticky stuff, looks like small bits
of cotton wool in between the leaves,can't explain it any better.
The plant is not large and I could easily spray if necessary but I need to
know what sort of chemical to use and, as it was planted against an
ornamental vine, is there a danger that this could be affected by the
chemical.

I assume the chemical may be suggested by you as I am not experienced.

Many thanks in advance
