Hello everyone - wonder if anyone can help me... I've just recently noticed my Mexican Orange Blossom appears to be covered in a number of these horrible brown/white spots and I'm not sure why or what can be done about it?

We've had the plant for over 4 years (was here before we moved in so it's probably been in it's current location for even longer) and never had this issue before. I'm wondering if the recent very heavy rainfall may have caused this problem. If anyone can offer any advice I'd be very grateful! Thanks in advance  :)

    Most of the leaves look perfectly healthy so it could just be something minor like hailstone damage.   I would snip off all the affected leaves then give it a generous dollop of slow release fertiliser for roses or tomatoes which contain nitrogen but are high in potash and potassium to encourage flowers and general plant health. 

    I would also give it a foliar feed of Epsom salts - 15ml of salts diluted in 5L of water and poured over the leaves using the spray head on your watering can.  This contains magnesium and will help with leaf health.

    Thanks @Obelixx and @rose.reuben that's identified what the marks are on a newly planted shrub of mine.  🤗
