gday mate,
the foliage looks like a coarse version of san jose mature foliage, I have one similar. the mature foliage takes a bit to come out and also is a little hard to get tight and compact. as for the white spots I have no idea, when I read your post I would of said it was mildew, but they actually look like part of the tree itself. its a bit of a hard one mate, have you been watering at night?

they are all a variety of cupressus glabra or arizonica, and the white spots is some sort of sap that is normal for these cultivars.
