what causes white spots on redbud tree
Answer #4 Â· Brent Wilson's Answer Â· I have a Lavender Twist Redbud planted near my garden pond. It's bark does not look splotched. The white spots on your tree doesn't look like lichens (white raised growths). It looks more like a discoloration of the bark that can't be wiped or scraped off. White spots can show up on the bark of Redbud trees when they've undergone some stress due to severe drought or up and down rapid changes in weather. Lavender Twist is a variety that prefers moist, but well-drained, soil. During prolonged periods of dry weather give the tree a deep soaking at least once a week.
