Re: Cordyline
I'll try to check on that bug (Siphonia) tomorrow at work. But since there is
an entomologically knowledgeable Hawaiian resident on the list, are you
familiar with a 'spiral whitefly'? I found what apparently was the spiral
egg mass on a Ti leaf from Hawaii the other day in the course of my work (I
have a part-time job as an agricultural quarantine inspector), and was
wondering how damaging it is, and what other plants it might harm besides
dracena. I had never seen anything like the little spiral before.
