Hi there, I have a Bay Laurel tree on my newly acquired property and it is totally infested with scale. I believe it is soft scale as there is the black sooty leaves you mentioned. We tried a spray last year and thought it had worked as the black soot went away. However I’ve been out today and seen not only is all the scale still there but they are significantly larger than last year! About the size of water droplets. The tree is too tall to spray, would you recommend the root soak? I live in Europe and have not yet been able to communicate with garden centres how to solve this problem, any recommendations of products I could order online? Or any further advice would be great, we’d love to harvest from this tree to use for cooking but at present it’s more about saving it! Thank you.
