Scale Insects
Damage caused by the Scale insects
Scale insects suck cell sap from twigs, branches and leaves. Severe feeding causes yellowing of leaves, dieback of twigs and branches, and reduction of plant vigour. In case of severe infestation, scale insects can kill twigs, branches and eventually the entire plant.
