I'm hoping someone here can help. I have an avocado tree that is about a year old. It's about 4' tall now. I live in the pacific NW...the tree was outside this summer for the first time and now its inside.

In that time it seems to have picked up a bug, but I'm having a heck of a time identifying it. The leaves are turning yellow/brown and splotchy. There's evidence of webbing...like a spider mite or something...but I can't find ANY mites... And there's less webbing than one would expect.

What I CAN find all over are these hard pods that look like seeds. They're the size of about half a grain of rice and they're very hard and dark brown. They hang off the plant by a single strand. Mostly they're on the under side of the leaves but some of them are on the stem as well. The new leaves that are healthy don't have them.

I started to wonder if somehow they were natural ... I don't know much about avocados...but it doesn't make sense actually because they would have had to have grown out of the leaf...

The leaves that are doing the absolute worst have the seeds on the bottom of the leaves and light webbing at the base of the leaves. The others are dying and just have the seeds but no webbing.

Help?
