Default Re: Palm Trees ?

I was told Sago Palms get a disease called scale. The under side of the fronds are white with the bugs that are scale. It is airborne and a constant battle to keep the palm disease free. The landscapers told us to apply a thin sprayable oil (agricultural oil, available at Lowe's)to kill the scale. Ours is presently covered in scale and we will apply the first treatment tomorrow. Hope it works cause I like the look of the low growing palm.
