I planted the shrub Fagus sylvatica (beech hedging variety) last year and they got munched by what I believe was scale fly. The underside of the leaves of the shrub were covered in small white eggs which ants were duly having a feast on. The result was that the new green leaves lost all their colour. I tried various sprays from the garden centre regularly but this didn't seem to have the desired effect. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I solve this problem. Thanks Gordon, Glasgow, Scotland
