Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: scale on my Wahoo, 1 by daylily_ohio

Thank you.

I have tried so hard to only have trees and shrubs that take no pruning, spraying etc! Of course, from time to time, they all need some care.

The Arboretum sounded like it would not be that big of a deal - yet they do not have a wahoo in their collection because of scale. I'm willing to spray it occasionally... but if this is going to be an ongoing, severe problem....perhaps a different choice of plant material would be better. That's why I thought I would ask here to see what people's real experiences are.

For those who have never seen it, here is a photo of the fruit or berry - not sure what the proper name is... on the wahoo. It holds the berry while it has it's fall foliage for me. The berries will fall a couple weeks after the leaves. In the photo VibernumValley posted, I don't see any berries. I just love the fall color, with the pink/magenta berries.

I'd take a picture now, with the fall color and the berries - but with the white scale all over everything, and the ugly spotted leaves - it is not very attractive! :-(
