I also think it is one of the aralias. Perhaps the cultivar called polyscias scutellaria Pennockii (sp?) Anna

White Spruce Picea glauca. Useful pointers: White Spruce needles are longer; Black Spruce Picea mariana needles are shorter White Spruce needles are ± the same colour on all sides; Black Spruce needles are conspicuously more glaucous below than above. White Spruce shoots are (in your area) hairless and pale brown to whitish; Black Spruce shoots are hairy, and dark orange-brown on mature shoots. White Spruce cones are slender, with soft scales; Black Spruce cones are broad, with stiff scales. Resin

Since I had already treated several of my problems with various brews, I sent a chunk of Striptease and a piece of September Sun to A&M. They said they needed something that had not been treated. Those were in the early stages. One had the "orangey" stain and the other had the white mold. I sent a big chunk of soil with each as well. Then I drenched everything with that Bayer product that showed any symptoms or had been treated with a different method (I've done bleach baths and hot water on several earlier this summer. What I've noticed that I have not mentioned is the pot. I posted it to the container forum but did not get an answer. I think this is related. I've washed and bleached all the pots as they have been emptied and their contents trashed. I just wish I knew what it is or how it's spread and is it the same thing I had at the first of the season? (Brown dried up roots) The sample I sent to A&M earlier this year was from OBL. It, Francee and Paradigm had the same problem (and maybe several others). A&M said Root knot nematodes. Bill Meyer said root rot, judging from my photos. I was tossing OBL a few weeks after re-potting , as it was continuing to go downhill. I pulled it out of the trash, bagged it up ans sent it to the lab. ( Maybe I washed away most of the fungi when I repottted ir?) Then, Bruce Banyai said what we're seeing is August blight and bleach it. Of course, bleaching a hosta in Texas in August is probably a death sentence. I have no clue if it's being spread by an insect, falling out of the pecan trees, came in the potting soil or is in the mulch in the beds. If I buy new hosta, will they get it, too? Maybe I'll get a better answer this time. bk

In case you're wondering, Yuzu can survive a cold winter in the Seattle area unprotected, but suffers some damage. The tree will be able to keep some of its leaves, maybe about half, depending on if it is located in a warm spot. It won't start growing until about the very end of May. Seattle is pretty far north in latitude but only zone 8a, so the winter temperatures don't get too extremely cold, though the winters are long (almost feels like half the year). My little Yuzu tree was completely blanketed in snow. A Yuzu-Clementine hybrid managed to survive but suffered some substantial damage and has still not managed to leaf out. It only managed to send out a tiny little single deformed leaflet after July 4, which doesn't look very well right now. The parts of the little tree which are not dead and grey have now turned a healthy live green color, it's just no leaves.
