    The white blob on the underside of the leaf may have been an egg case from an insect pest, maybe a caterpillar; without a photo we can only guess. Spiders wouldn't defoliate the tree.

    Next time you see a suspicious object like that, don't "leave it to monitor", wipe it off with a rag or cotton glove, before it can mature and do any damage.

    It's possible that the white blob is not related to the pest that defoliated the tree.

    You will need to contact company from the insecticide that you used.
    They should be able to tell you if this was a product that could be used near plants and what the effects are.

    It can be for wetter seasons. Along with treating the top of the tree multiple times, I would also treat the soil!

    Use DOLOMITIC LIME and WETTABLE SULFUR to cast around the tree's root zone. This will help with infections, as well as condition the soil.

    As a rule of thumb, Spring is the best time of year for transplanting.

    This is a very minor fungal infection. They will usually correct themselves, but you can help it along some.

    Use DOLOMITIC LIME and WETTABLE SULFUR together in the soil around the tree out about 3 or feet from the trunk. You can also use spray fungicides to treat the top. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/using-fungicides-in-garden.htm

    Regular dead-heading keeps many plants blooming, especially annuals. The goal of an annual plant is to set seed. If you frustrate that goal by trimming off spent bloom stems, no seed is formed and the plant sends up more flowers in another attempt. Toward the end of summer, you may wish to collect seed for next year. Remember that many hybrid flowers do not "come true from seed"; in other words, your plant from collected seed may have different characteristics than the current plant.
