Hello!
Our Lilly Pily Cascade hedge seems to be rather unwell. It was a full hedge for the last 2-3 years but now has brown/ dead sections.
Could these insects be the reason? Does anyone know what they are!? There's so many of them.
Hi @lillypilly15,
Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.
It looks like you've got an infestation of Torpedo Bugs/Green Planthoppers (Siphanta acuta) which are a sap-sucking insect that in large quantities could certainly cause some issues.
Unfortunately, there are no products that specifically mention them, however, Eco-Neem Concentrate can be used to control a variety of plant-sucking insects, so this is something you could try.
Allow me to tag @Noelle, @robchin and @mich1972 to see if they have any advice.

Thank you so much!! I'll try some of that Neem product you mentioned and see how we go.
