Thanks guys. I didn't know that copper based fungicides were hard on the trees, hopefully I won't over-do it. I was planning to do it once a week, for about 3 weeks and see what happens.

I have removed all the effected foliage from the tree and pot, I even went as far as picking tips that had fallen into the soil out with tweasers. Hopefully I got it all. I think I did, I was extremely careful.

I have started watering the soil and not the canapy. I guess I'll avoid misting as well for a while. At least untill I'm sure it has cleared up.

And thanks for the advice on the fertilizer Dr Dirt, I'll definitely switch to something like what you suggest.
