Hello, Can you help me with this Bismarck Palm problem? As you can see in the photos, the tree is infected with some bug I would guess. This condition has persisted for the last two years , but is especially bad now. Please give me some idea what this stuff is and how it can be treated. I am in Ft Lauderdale. I have sprayed the tree with an organic insecticide . Didn't help... Thanks for any help you can give me.
hi i have this palm for my experience is an insect,like caterpiller that in the nigth eat the leaves ,you use insecticide for soil around the trunk too because the insect live in the soil...
Thats from a caterpillar??? I would have thought a caterpillar would just eat holes into the plant if they were interested. I recommend trying this site, see if you can find something... www.plantapalm.com/vpe/pestsndiseases/palmpests/palmpests_files/v3_document.htm
