boxwood psyllid

While perusing my garden this week I noticed that all of my boxwoods were covered in dandruff and that the leaves were cupped. If I shook the plant it would snow and the ground below would be covered in a fine white film. I jumped on the internet and discovered that my plants were infested with the boxwood psyllid, a common pest that does little damage to the plant unless the infestation is massive. It is too late to address the problem this season. Next season I will have to take preventative measures in late April before they hatch.
