Does anyone know what these little white things are on my Hydrangea’s leaves? I’ve never seen them before and I’m not sure if they’re a disease, a pest or part of the plants natural process.
Hi @edman45 - not fully sure but there is something called Hydrangea Scale which looks very similar to your problem. The white bits could be white waxy fibres which are disguising tiny eggs. Check out this weblink and see what you think. https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=557
I'm not sure who else might know or seen this, but we could ask @moore.794 - Hi Terry, would you know if my guess sounds correct, or if you are familiar with this pest?
@richard.spicer.7906 @edman45 yes looks to be scale. best time to treat is july. small infestation prune & destroy. talk to local expert in your area & be prepared to treat at proper times with proper insecticide
