Found some clouded plant bugs on my meyer blossoms today. I was going to leave them thinking they were a type of assassin bug but after a good bit of searching I found they are actually pests. One web site said they weren't really pests but another said they feed on the blossoms so I decided they had to go. I'd post a picture but I squirted them already and hope not to see them again.

I have some very odd leaf colorations I might post up sometime. For now I'm not concerned. Just some light spots in the coloration. My new leaves didn't have it but today I saw they do now as well. Tree is otherwise healthy. I don't think it's a deficiency. More likely a disease but I don't think there is anything to be done about it.
