White Spots On Trees
You might have a scale insect infestation if you notice an unusually high number of white spots on your twigs, branches, or leaves. Scale insects are plant parasites that feed on internal plant fluids. Thousands of small white bugs make up the white patches you see. Homeowners frequently mistake them for mould or pieces of the bark. They can range in size from flat, 1/16″ long specks to bigger, nearly ladybug-sized lumps that cover smaller twigs.

There are several typical causes of sickly or small-looking leaves, including insects, diseases, or other health issues. If you’ve discovered that your leaves are not producing to their full capacity, it may be worthwhile to talk to a professional about your worries. Stunted leaf grow may be a clear sign of your tree(s) being infested or diseased and C&H Tree Surgery can help.
Chewed Foilage
You can be dealing with a number of different insect issues if you detect little holes or irregular, jagged edges in shrub or tree leaves that have been chewed. This could be a problem with insect larvae, beetles, and many more. Various insects leave behind various chew marks, and occasionally they even gnaw on different areas of the leaf. For example, beetles like to feed on the centre of the foliage, skeletonizing the leaves and leaving only the veins.
