I have a small bay tree in a pot about a metre tall. the new leaves
look quite healthy but the is something growing on the old leaves and
part of the stem.

It looks like a brown spot about 1mm in diameter and can be scrapped
off. There are thousands of them

Can someone please tell me what it is and what I do about it


Regards

Would figure it is scale. Mix 50% cooking oil with 50% water and a dollop of
metholated spirits. Spray on an overcast morning.
