Scale on orange tree
Submitted by Kerri Ison on 1/19/2010
Client has an orange tree (kept inside of course) which has scale on the trunk and branches and is dropping honeydew on the leaves. She gave it a shower and treated with a Pure Castile soap and water solution but indicated it did not work. Seeking treatment ideas.

Kerri,
Suspect Scale- one treatment of soap will not do it- Need Gooo coverage and I would do 3 treatments- spaced 14 days apart.. If not used for fruit production- you can find Bayer/s systemic treatment sold as small tablets you place in the pot- Will take some time to work and will never eliminate- but a treatment should help for about 60 days.
