What's eating my chinese windmill palm 'bulgaria'?

Chinese Windmill Palm 'Bulgaria' is a cold-hardy outdoor palm; its pests are primarily outdoor insects and, in some regions, animals. Scale insects are the most common threat. Vine weevil, aphids on new growth, and caterpillars can also damage it. Deer and rabbits rarely target palms but may browse young plants.

Armored or soft waxy lumps on petioles and frond undersides; yellowing fronds, honeydew, sooty mold Horticultural oil spray in late spring when crawlers are active; scrape adults; systemic insecticide for heavy infestations

Adults notch leaf margins; larvae in soil eat roots, causing sudden wilting and crown collapse Apply nematodes (Steinernema kraussei) to moist soil in late summer/autumn; use vine weevil killer drenches

Clusters on emerging spear leaves, causing distortion and sticky honeydew deposits Blast off with a strong water jet; insecticidal soap spray; encourage ladybirds and lacewings

Irregular holes chewed in frond leaflets; most active in summer Hand-pick caterpillars; apply Bt spray targeting young larvae; remove egg masses from frond undersides
