Euphorbia Species, Hedge Euphorbia, Indian Spurge Tree, Oleander Spurge (Euphorbia neriifolia)
I have a very large, mature specimen of this plant, and the yellowing, withered leaves I see in the photo are exactly what I see on my plant when scale has populated the plant enough to do visible damage. I have been trying to manage the scale on and off for years by removing them by hand. Is there a systemic treatment or foliar spray that is safe for this plant?
I've never dealt with scale nor have I ever grown this plant. I generally don't use any systemic treatment or foliar spray's on my plants. You might want to post this question in the Cacti and Succulents forum. There will be someone there that has experience with treatments, etc.
