I Have A Desert Cassius

Question

The tree was planted in April and has white deposits on the branches. I have been spraying a weems solution. It doesn’t seem to help. Any suggestions??? Thanks

Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the issue at hand. Mealy bugs can come to mind, woolly aphids, and even issues like fungal infections. It would be hard to say without seeing the pest responsible.

You could take a sample or photos up to the closest extension service and they can be of assistance as well.
