Dan,
I found these on my trees. What are they and how do I get rid of them?
Thanks, Steve H.
This is cottony cushion scale. You may spray the tree two or three times with a light horticultural oil (Year Round Spray Oil, All Seasons Oil, Organocide and other brands) following label directions. A hose-end applicator works best when spraying a small tree.
