OK garden gurus, what do I do for a scale infestation on my small lemon
tree
please? It's the later end of summer here now and I'd like to get rid of
this infestation before winter arrives if that's at all possible.



Neem oil works. IS that something you can get there?


Yep. Not that I've ever used it. it seemed to enjoy a lot of popularity a
few years ago but I've not heard it mentioned a lot in more recent years.
IIRC, it was more popular with those who gardened in the sub-tropical and
tropical areas of Oz.
