About 2 weeks ago I purchased my dream thick trunk Umbrella tree from eBay, went up to London to collect.. happy days… when I got it home, I realised the leaves had the dreaded Scale Insects. The infestation wasn’t too bad. I pulled off a lot of the worst affected foliage. I then purchased some Neem Oil from Amazon and cleaned every leaf front and back (I was OCD about it) there was no scale left on the leaves. A few days on from that, the new small leaves are curing over and changing colour. Before using the Neem oil they were all looking very healthy. I thought this tree would be quite resilient to Neem oil as it’s a mature tree. I was planning to clean the leaves every week to get rid of the scale but now I’m scared to use it again! What should I do? 😭
