Olive Tree problem
 

I have brought my Olive tree indoors to avoid frost damage during the
winter. I have noticed on the bark small brown/black mounds, that when
touched crumble to dust. Does anyone know what this could be?

Possibly Olive Knot (Pseudomonas savastanoi). There's plenty of info.
available on the Internet for this disease. Check out:
