White ... something ... on young beech trees
(Ooops ... I posted this early in the 'international' section by mistake, so here it is again, where it should be!)
Hi! We've got some young (about 3 years old) beech trees which we've just potted on for planting out at some point. Noticed today that there's an unpleasant white growth/mildew/aphid infection on all of them, but I can't identify it from books, or the web. Can anyone out there tell me what it is, please, and - more importantly - what on earth we can do to get rid of it. The trees have only just been potted on, so are in the unheated greenhouse (well ventilated) at the moment, to keep them out the vicious cold wind. (for some reason, the site won't allow me to post the attachments I used earlier ... ??. Anyway, pictures of the poorly beech are on the original thread ... ) https://www.gardenbanter.co.uk/gardening/184502-white-something-young-beech-trees.html Any advice or education will be most hugely appreciated! |

I've had it on bonsai beech and acers. I usually find one spray of an insecticide gets rid of it. Pam in Bristol |
