If it’s powdery in nature, then it is powdery mildew and can be treated with neem oil. Here is more info: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/problems/get-the-cure-for-powdery-mildew.htm [1]

If they are more spotty and raised or cottony looking, then your tree may have scale or mealy bugs. Again, neem oil will help with this. These articles will also help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/scale-bug-how-to-control-plant-scale.htm [3]
