White spots and white sacs on the leaves was created by Ginseng04

Posted 4 years 6 months ago #53158
Hi,
I’m very new on this forum and I created it so I could ask a question and hopefully get an answer. I have a Carmona tree (with me 4 months), which has been growing pretty well for the most part and now I realized there are some white dry spots on the upper side of the leaves, but I was really surprised to find white egg sacs (?) under a leaf (picture). Can anyone clarify which pest that is and how to get rid of that? And should I move the Carmona further from my other trees so they don’t get the same condition?
Thanks.

try posting the picture again. Do check the size requirements for images. Maybe it was too big?

Never seen those before on a carmona so I'm going to have to guess they are spider eggs. Won't harm your tree.

The white dots on TOP of the leaves are normal. Look online for some carmona pictures: They all have them.

The white little sacks are indeed eggs of some form. Many insects lay aggs like this. I doubt they are spiders, but as I do not know what they are..
In any case, I would remove the leaves with eggs and toss them outside. Problem solved
