Comments (4)Endless persistence. Ridding scale is a pain. A very wise grower friend of mine swears by orange oil. She says it drys out their shell in no time and kills the crawlers. When treating your tree don't forget to get the undersides of the leaves and every nook and cranny...leave no leaf unturned, they can be anywhere. I also suggest cleaning/bleaching or treating the area surrounding your tree. I have read scale can travel a bit. Foxy....See MoreIs your decorating sense similar to your fashion sense?
Comments (33)My home definitely does reflect my interior~tan, ivory/white, black, gold(upholstery) and leopard print(upholstery)! I've been wearing ivory for years and ivory pants/sweater was my signature Christmas outfit for years. I have everything from scarves to pj's in leopard print, so maybe that's why I had the slipper chairs in the greatroom done in leopard print. Even my tabby, white cat, and Australian cattle dog(tan)work into the color scheme. LOL I have a ton of gray in clothing(shoes/purses too!)but not in my home~if I did, I would pair it with a bright fuchia. I do have a few fuchia, cobalt, turquoise tops, but no other colors, and also a lot of brown. And I love metallics, especially knits. While I do love color on other people, at 5'1" and 110 lbs, the color usually wears me instead of the other way around. I was in retail for 25 years and really found out what works best for me....See MoreSCALE! Still dealing with it!
Comments (48)This is what I use on scale when it shows up on my trees. It is 100% organic and gets rid of scale over night. It is also readily available at big box stores which is nice, you don't have to wait for mail order when you need it right away. Organocide 3-in-1 I believe it is sesame oil based, it is a great product and safe to use around kids and won't hurt beneficial insects, lol I sound like a salesman for them but it really does work well. http://www.yourplantdoctor.com/organocide-3-in-1-garden-spray-blog/ Evan...See MoreAnd.....it's lookin like scale
Comments (7)I was able to scrape off the scale from the Verticillata as well as others found on the undersides of other leaves. Do the purple spots look like humidity spots or previous pest issues that could have lead to a fungus (and hopefully not a virus) or maybe it's just ugly cosmetic blemishes due to living outdoors in FL?...See MoreToronado3800 Zone 6 St Louis
