wisteria leaves
By Hujo56

On underside of wisteria leaves is white rectangular deposits(?), soft and easily removed with seemingly nothing inside. Is it a fungus perhaps? It is all over a very large yard of wisteria.

Seaburngirl,
Thank you for responding. Just spent some time with googled articles about cushion scale. No pictures matched. In fact I don't think this is a critter. I live in northeast pennsylvania,USA. These deposits(?) seem to be just soft cottony rectangular shapes with nothing inside. Oh... I just realized they are only on the underside of leaves of the Rose of Sharons, not the wisteria as I said previously. I am exhausting my supply of know-how on the computer in finding an answer. Don't know what to search for next. Maybe a picture? Yeah like I know how to do that!
Thanks again, Hujo56

hi, sounds like this is cushion scale. a sap sucking critter. Don't know if you have suitable sprays to treat them.
