Chinese Elm

Hi, dried husks sound like scale insects, they will leach the sap and seriously weaken the tree. However some insecticides I've found can effect Chinese Elm, systemic insecticide. Scale insects can be removed with Metholated spirit on a cotton bud, they are hard to erradicate but yearly persistence should help, good luck!
