Hi there, beginner gardener here!  
I was wondering if anyone able to help identifying these white spots that have come up on my olive plant. I’m starting to get concerned as there’s a few leafs affected and I’m unsure how to treat it. It doesn’t rub off and the other side of the leaf looks fine. Any advice/info is very appreciated! ☀️🌱

This is just a hunch, but it looks a bit like a fungal infection. I would try treating it with a fungicide and see if that helps!

That looks like the start of powdery mildew. It’s common and easily treatable especially if you catch it early. You can treat it with a 1:2 ratio of milk (1) to water (2) and spray the foliage. Apply it every 2 weeks until it is gone.
