What is Asian Scale?
This tiny but formidable insect is not one to be taken lightly, posing a significant threat to a variety of palm species, including the beloved cycads and ornamental palms. With a penchant for infesting leaves and stems, these stealthy invaders feed voraciously on the sap of their host plants, leaving a trail of damage in their wake.
