I have noticed a substance on a few of my japanese maples--first occured last season and now just noticed again on a plant I pulled out of it's winter storage. Looks like a scaly substance on the bark, between leaf nodes. I have searched th internet looking for a picture that is similar, but so far have not been succesfull. The "scale" is whitish, grey...very small, but covers about 2 inches of the branch. Most of the items on the web having to do with japanese maples elude to cotton maple scale--which this does not look like. Wish that i had a digital camera to post a picture--so any help would be great. Thank you
