    I have a Eucalyptus that began to get dark spots on the leaves last year. I picked off a number of them and sprayed. I should have been more pro active and now it is much worse. I took it to a garden centre but they had not seen this before. The leaves even with the worst spots still have scent. It is almost like a powdery mildew. Any advice?
    thx

    Is your Eucalyptus planted outside and also, do you know the species? Pix will help if you can post them.

    Cheers, LPN.

    Location probably too cold and damp for it.

    I don't remember the specific Eucalyptus but got it from Garden Works and it was one of the hardier varieties suitable for this climate. This winter was a hard one but the damage began last summer and I don't remember the winter before that being particularily cold. The plant has shelter around it. I will get a photo and post it.

    thx
