Hello everyone,
I have noticed for some time now a white powder/saltish like deposit under pretty much all leaves, except young ones. Do you have any idea?
Thank you in advance,
Pierre.

Re: Underneath my Lilly Pilly's leaves
They look like little spores or eggs to me.
I'd consider that you could simply wipe these all clean with a cloth if there aren't too many.
I can't imagine they would be good for your tree and I can't imagine a tragic end to simply cleaning them off.
If there is too many i'd try just hosing them all off maybe?

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Thank you Boics,
All leaves are like that...? Doesn't seem to bother the tree the slightest but it does bother me!
It does rub off very easily indeed.
Will keep you updated.
Cheers
