Ok, this is not affecting my bonsai…yet…. I will be bringing a few bonsai into our sunroom in a few days/weeks and want to clear up this problem on a full size Ficus. I do see scales on the tree, in addition there are numerous leaves turning black. The tree is putting out new growth. There is also a very sticky feel to the leaves as well as to the chair arm under the tree and when I returned home from the summer the floor had a rather blackish ring under the tree canopy. Any thoughts as to the causes and treatment, as I said I do see scales?

Thanks
Jay
