    Hi Loretta,

    We notice scale appearing on citrus trees that have poor airflow and/or are lacking in nutrients (particularly nitrogen). I’d recommend rectifying those issues first. Often predatory bugs will clean up any problems, but if they don’t, then a spray of white oil will do the trick.

    Good Luck & Happy Gardening!
