Ligustrum

About Ligustrum

This common landscape shrub pest targets Ligustrum species, causing leaf discoloration, distortion, and defoliation that can weaken the plant over time. Infestations often appear as clusters of small, soft-bodied insects on the undersides of leaves and stems, particularly in residential areas like Franklin and Brentwood. Effective management includes timely treatments and regular monitoring to protect your Ligustrum shrubs’ health and appearance.
