Are you starting to notice white, cottony masses on the bark of your Cherry trees? An insect called White Peach Scale is most likely to blame.

Signs And Symptoms:
Foliage of infested trees may become sparse and yellow.
Fruit size may be reduced and premature drop is likely to occur.
Heavy infestations can result in the death of twigs, branches, and even trees.
In severe cases, insects appear as white, cottony masses encrusting the bark of the tree.
Insects on bark of tree: White, yellowish white, or grayish white with a yellow or reddish spot.
