Pink dogwood and Fruit trees

 

Hi everyone need some help. I have a couple pink dogwood trees and a
dwarf apple tree that is getting a white scaley type stuff on the bark.
Is this something I should be worried about ? Is there anything i can
do to get rid of it ?  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Ed

 

Hi Ed,
   Aside from looking bad, there may be nothing harmful in this growth.  You
could
spray them with general purpose fungicide, like Captan.  I sprayed my dwarf
apples
and dogwoods with lime-sulfer a few weeks ago, to get rid of a potential problem
I
had last year with leaves turning brown.  It may also work for your problem.
