Leaves fall off curling, as the sticky substance probably prevents it to breathe. The sticky substance emanates an odd, offensive odour. I also noticed these are larvae of the mealy bugs, that are white and feathery - adults. Their undersides were pink. Am not controlling it. The other Fiddle wood Tree had been attacked last year. This year only the second tree is infested, not that one. It disappeared on its own. I hope the same thing happens to this one too. The sticky substance falls on the plants kept under the tree as well. It becomes blakish. Any organic solutions, please? Dinu |
