I have a hawthorne tree that a customer brought in and on the leaves it have small brown splotches and on the branches themselves it is covered with a hard brown coating with orange and white flakes |

You might also want to consult with your county extension (265-5051) for a more specific diagnosis and the most up to date recommendations for treating the problem. |
