QuestionI just plant a India crabapple in May, I notice that it now has a white fuzzy something in the base of the branch where the branch is connected to the trunk. Is this a fungus and can I use a basic mild soap and water solution.
AnswerYes MaryAnn, you could use a basic mild soap and water solution. If you need something stronger that is safe, use Neem Oil. It will not wash off like your soap solution, and will continue to protect as it absorbs into the leaf. This will keep the chewing and sucking insects off your plant in the future.
