Greetings all, I just found out about this awesome forum while I was searching for a solution for my problem I'm not well informed of how to take care of plants and trees but I have a monkey puzzles tree in the yard and I recently started noticing weird things building up on the leaves as well as some dry stuff branches I honestly have no clue how to treat this or what to do, I hope that someone have a solution for this one. Thanks
Don't know what the white is but the tree is not a monkey puzzle, but rather another Araucaria such as A. cunninghamii for instance.
The white stuff appears to be sap. Araucaria species are known to produce a lot of resin. It oozes out to protect areas of damage. Small amounts of it coagulating on the tree are probably not a problem. It could be a response to an insect though.
Thanks for your clarification, as I mentioned before I'm not well informed about it. Maybe I'll read about it more. Interesting, what do you think I should do, leave it as it is or should I do something about it?
It's not something I am very familiar with. I would probably watch to see if it increases, look close for bugs, and check around with other local people to see if their trees have the same issue.
