What's eating my chinese flowering quince?

Chinese Flowering Quince is most troubled by aphids, which cluster on new shoots and distort growth. Scale insects, spider mites, and leaf miners also attack it outdoors. In gardens, slugs may nibble low foliage. Inspect new growth regularly and treat aphid colonies early before they spread to neighboring plants.

Sticky honeydew on leaves, curled or puckered new shoots, sooty mold following infestation Blast off with water; apply insecticidal soap or neem oil; encourage ladybugs and lacewings

Brown or gray crusty bumps on stems; yellowing leaves; sticky deposits on bark Scrub off with a soft brush dipped in isopropyl alcohol; treat with horticultural oil in dormancy

Pale winding tunnels traced through leaf tissue; disfigured foliage by midsummer Remove and bin affected leaves; avoid nitrogen-heavy feeds that attract egg-laying adults

Fine webbing on undersides of leaves; bronze stippling; premature leaf drop in dry conditions Increase humidity; spray with water or miticide; repeat weekly until clear
