Lilly pilly’s turning whitish, dusty colour before dropping. Only happening at the bottom of plants.

Answer: Hi Kyle,

Thank you for contacting Yates.

The white dusty substance sounds like powdery mildew, a type of fungal disease. To control the disease, try Yates Rose Shield Black Spot & Insect Pest Killer. Click here for more info: http://www.yates.com.au/products/disease-control/concentrates/yates-rose-shield-insect-disease-spray

You can also send us a picture of the infected leaves for further confirmation.

Hope this helps and happy gardening.

Best Regards,
Louise
