After about a week of cooler, rainy weather, I noticed today in the mulch around my potted lemon tree, there is a white powdery- looking substance. It is even starting to growi up a wood brace. Please help. This is the first year out of approximately an 8 or 9 year old tree that has a bumper crop of lemons. Maybe 30 lemons or more. Help me to save the lemons and tree please!
