Oak with white leaves

Post by Roar_mikana_jay »

We purchased a sick oak, more for the pot than the actual tree itself :oops: but would like to try and do something with the tree if possible. Is a 6 yo oak, but has some leaves with a white, powdery substance on them. I plan to repot the tree next week, but want to know what kind of disease and how I should be treating it. I have tried the search on here, but couldn't find any reference to white leaves on oaks.

could just be a powdery mildew

it's a fungal doesn't harm the tree a lot. make it look sick but rarely kill the tree.
defoliate the tree i guess
