The juniper scale is a sporadic pest of juniper, cypress, and cedar trees in nurseries and landscapes in Georgia.

Juniper scale feeds on plant fluid, and heavy infestations can reduce plant vigor, causing needle drop and twig color change from green to brown. Find out how to identify and manage this pest.
