Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comI live in Australia and have a tree that has started producing thousands of white sticky goo dots all over the branches. It has the appearance of snow but to touch is like sap. What is this and how can I get rid of it? This is the first time I have seen this on the tree.
