Tea Scale

As if the cankerworms aren’t bad enough, tea scale is now active on our camellias and hollies. These small armored scale creeps feed on the underside of leaves causing a yellowing on the upper portion. Under heavy infestations these scale creeps can stress out the plant causing branch death, and contribute to overall plant decline.
