Yes scale. spray with pest oil all over and repeat in about 10 days. Don't leave anything uncovered with the spray.

Thanks treeman
I might defoliate soon, so that should help get rid of it. Will hit it with pest oil in any case as I expect it’s on the trunk too. Cheap stock, worth the effort for a tree that has a bit going for it already. If/when I get time I might post some pics to get advice on branches to retain and remove.
Thanks again
Dave
