    Hello -

    Any help in identifying this flowering tree is appreciated. It has a small flower with five white petals with pink specks on them. It is growing along the So. Calif coast. Also, something is attaching the new leaf growth making them curl up...any suggestions for treatment?

    Thanks

    Look for aphids on the curled leaves.

    I was going to say "look for aphids or other sucking pests on the curled leaves". But thrips rasp, so that still wouldn't have covered it!
