Answer 1

IT is infected with one of the many gall producing insects. Insecticides may help with the infestation, but it is not likely fatal.

Any infections, such as powdery mildew, will be from the insect infestation. A fungicide will be necessary.

Thanks, although there are no galls on the leaves but something that looks like a bunch of leaf stalks growing together.
