It looks like to me it from LOTS AND LOTS OF SALT DAMAGE whether from too much fertilizer or a very fine mix..I'll bet your watering in sips and have not re potted for quite some time?

The yellowing in your annuals planted in that pot are also a tell tale sign...Variegated are very sensitive to salt toxicity, white parts..

Is that tree in a very porous well draining mix. When was the last time you re potted? How often did you fertilize and how much? With what? When did that damage start to occur?
