Plant disease to Skimmia
We have a skimmia in the garden which is turning black. The leaves seem to
have a black powdery deposit on them. Does anyone know what it is? What should I do ? Neil |

I've never seen it on skimmia, but on other plants it is black mould growing on sticky deposits resulting from insect infestation. Look on the leaves above the black mould area, look on the underside of the leaves, and see if you have oval light to dark brown bumps up to about 4mm long. If you have, then you have scale insect - get rid of these, then wash off the mould (or let the rain do it). -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |
