Wonder if anyone can help with this 'problem', We have in pots Acers and a Magnolia, which seem to have their bark covered in what I only describe as 'Barnacle' like creatures, which when removed leave like a 'cotton residue' behind. any ideas please ... what they might be ..... TIA -- Ricky * Remove 'opps.' to reply * |
