Escallonia 'Iveyi'

Hi,

I planted 2 of these last year and they have grown quite nicely but I have noticed some of the leaves have turned a bit yellow and some look like they have been eaten. Not very many mind. On closer inspection I saw a few little insects and I have also noticed birds eating the insects from these.

What can I do to prevent this? If left untreated would they eventually die?

Thanks

 

Identify the bug and then buy appropriate spray. Provado will probably suuffice.

Garden centres , not superstores, normally have a leaflet supplied by manufactirers to identify and suggest treatment
