Sapling
Apologies if this is obvious. A bunch of my young tridents and some Chinese elm have these little white lozenge shaped critters on their bark. They don’t move around and are easy to knock off with my fingers, they’re not armored like scale I’ve seen before. Would these pests be a type of scale? Going to wipe them off best I can with a little alcohol swabbing and use bonide’s systemic granules. If you all have some better techniques and can ID these as something other than scale I would appreciate it. Thanks. ![IMG_6609.jpeg IMG_6609.jpeg](https://www.bonsainut.com/data/attachments/514/514658-f36e57e086477f88b574511b2f2a2818.jpg?hash=825X4IZHf4)
