White eggs?

[Ming dynasty]

This is on my seigen JM. Does anyone know what it is and do I need to remove it from my tree. Thank you for your help

Could it be scale? Hard to tell from the pictures

Burn the eggs before they multiply

Kind of looks like a scale similar to what I dealt with the past month or so. If there are just a few you can try mechanically and organically removing them, but I had poor results and sprayed it once with Malation which worked, or is at least keeping them in check for now. If they come back I will probably just deal with them when I dormant spray.

It looks similar to Crepe Myrtle Scale.

Yikes!! I’ll look up some treatment for scales. Thank you everyone

The leaf makes it look like part of powdery mildew.

It is not a terrible case of scale but things can get out of control quickly during the growing season. I don't see very much scale on maples and I suspect you have a host tree nearby. Regardless of which treatment you use (there are many) be sure to hit it good with a dormant oil spray when it defoliates. Spray the host tree too, if you can find one.
Best of luck with your charming little maple.
