Stemmadenia (Milky Way Tree) White Underside Fungus: Downy Mildew Suspect

Three 1-yr seedlings: white, fine, gritty fungus on leaf undersides, spreading from edge inward, killing leaves. Copper fungicide soak limited success. Rare plant, little info.

Suspect: Downy Mildew

Delicate, spores only on undersides. Needs microscope/hand lens to confirm.

Action

Take affected leaves to garden center for magnification exam. Google "downy mildew" for comparison.
