Help needed with Mango tree disease

Hi,

IâÂÂm a new gardener in Ft. Lauderdale, FL (zone 10b), and am not having any luck with my Mango tree. I bought it from a nursery five months ago and was told to hold off giving it fertilizer till the spring. However, this week I took a close look at the leaves and they seem to have some type of bug eating them. WeâÂÂre having a Rugose spiraling whitefly problem and itâÂÂs really beating up my banana trees, but the Mango tree leaves have strange spots on the top and blisters on the bottom (See pics), which donâÂÂt look anything like the white fly problems on the banana leaves.

Can anyone tell me what kind of bug/disease is on the leaves?

I've sprayed the leaves with Neem once, which didn't do anything, but I've read that I should spray every 7-10 days for it to be effective. Is it safe?

Also, is there a webpage for tropical fruit diseases for newbies anywhere?

Thanks

Keith
