Yellowwood Tree with White Spots: Need Photo for ID

A 5-year-old yellowwood (Cladrastis) has distressed leaves (curled edges) and white scale-like spots on the trunk. Could be scale insects, lichen, or fungal fruiting bodies.

Next Step

Send a clear, close-up photo of the white spots (review focus on computer first). Include a ruler or coin for scale. This allows accurate identification and targeted advice.

General Care

Yellowwoods prefer well-drained, slightly alkaline soil.
Leaf curling may indicate moisture stress or root issues.
Avoid trunk damage from mowers/trimmers.
