I would try this soapy mix of 1 teasp liquid soap & 1 qt water and spray it until it drips..................do this again next week...................if this does not help............you can try dormant oil in the fall....read the label to see if this plant is included in their list......wear old clothes, mask, goggles, hat and gloves, spray on a day that has no wind,,,,,keep children & pets away until this is dry....................repeat in the spring...and follow the directions of the container for next use.
