Silver Birch Problem
Hi,
We planted a young silver birch in early September and it has become covered in small white raised bumps please see the link below. Could anybody tell me what it is? Whether it is diseased and if not what I can do about it? ImageShack Album - 3 images Many thanks |

'ImageShack Album - 3 images' (http://tinyurl.com/26jgjp2) It looks to me like your birch is suffering from an infestation of some type of armored scale insect. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/mg005 -- Pat in Plymouth MI "Vegetables are like bombs packed tight with all kinds of important nutrients..." --Largo Potter, Valkyria Chronicles email valid but not regularly monitored |

Looks like scale infestation, look into a repeat application of
dormant or horticultural oil to smother them. |
