| 2008-03-26 | Dear John, | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Wow!!!!! - I am so thrilled to get this kind of detailed answer and really understand in depth about scale infestation - I suspect this on palm but until photo confirmation just a hunch. I so appreciate this knowledge in reference to future landscape projects as well. Very Very Best - Jule Sundt Jule Sundt Landscape Design |
| 2008-03-26 | Dear John, | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Dear John, I really really thank you for your extremely thorough and informative response. I am going to send you photos and try to further identify this - I do believe that palm was stressed at planting and a good palm fertilizer(Dr.Earth)might be enough -but if it is a soft scale etc. would love to ID with you and treat for that too.Again thanks! Very best, Jule |

| 2008-03-23 | Paula | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for the response. I will give your suggestions a try. Do the bugs 'jump' to other plants in close proximity? Thanks again, Paula |
