Hi Have recently moved to Nanaimo BC from Ottawa and have large yard of trees shrubs etc. some of which I am not familiar. A number of conifers appear to be in trouble (scale ??) Any ideas? Meppy
looks to be a Pine of some sort, need a close up of the needles to be able to try a better ID. The issue you show is more than likely a lichen of sorts, usually harmless. definately not scale.
Solutions to scale problem?? Thanks for the info. Is there any solution to scale problems in relatively large Japanesr Black Pines Meppy
