Found these little darlings all along the underside on the underside of my variagated Cornus. It looks like woolly aphid, or scale insect? But they are huge!! :o :o Any advice greatly received, thanks Lottie

They are scale insects. I must say that is a pretty spectacular infestation! I dont really know why there is so much of the white stuff.

Don't know. Were you thinking of meths for woolly aphid?

I was going to put meths on , but my neighbour told me that I'd got muddled and I should be doing it with White spirit!! Was I right then? ???Lottie

I use meth on anything like that as it evaporates so much faster. All these things could potentially damage the plant.

I'll have a bit more faith in myself next time then!! Plant looks OK, fingers crossed... Lottie
