Insects
|
Various kinds of scale attack magnolia trees ,the magnolia scale, is a large scale. Adult females may reach nearly 1/2-inch in diameter when fully grown. The scale is shiny tan-brown and smooth. different types of scale may be different colors. As they get bigger, they are often covered with a white mealy wax. Later crawlers emerge. Plants Attacked As the name implies, this insect is primarily a pest of various species of magnolia. Saucer, star, lily and cucumber tree magnolias are the most common trees attacked. Damage Magnolia scales have sucking mouthparts and when heavy infestations completely encrust branches, the branches often die. Badly infested branches and twigs are weakened and growth is retarded. Leaves may also be under-developed. Under a continuous and heavy attack trees may be killed. Like most soft scales, the excess plant sap is excreted is called honeydew. The honeydew drips onto the foliage and branches. A dark fungus, called black sooty mold grows on the honeydew which results in the leaves becoming blackened. The honeydew also attracts a ants, bees, wasps and flies which feed on it. Description and Life Cycle The magnolia scale spends the winter on one to two year old twigs as tiny, dark-colored nymphs. As temperatures warm in the spring, the scales begin to suck sap and have molted once by early May. Need a tree doctor?
