Hi,
Does anyone know if this is powdery mildew on my dwarf nectarine? It has been growing well but some leaves started to drop and have a whitish powder on them. It doesn’t get full Sun all day and is on my bonsai wall below another shelf so does get water drip page from another pot above it during watering time daily. It is also next to a large hedge so airflow might be reduced around it.

Re: Dwarf nectarine leaf disease

Re: Dwarf nectarine leaf disease
Thank you. I had a look online and it does look like mite damage. There is a little bit of white webbing up the top of the plant.

Re: Dwarf nectarine leaf disease
Actually since I’ve noticed it the ants have gone. I’ve given it a generous coating with pest oil and will keep a close eye on it.
