Yucca damage - is this from last year's Yucca Bugs?

Posted by Ron (DE Zone 7a) on April 9, 2009, 8:37:21

Several of my Yuccas are showing some strange spotting on the leaves this spring. I did have some Yucca Bug (Halticotoma valida) infestation on these plants last summer - which I thought I took care of with Sevin - but now this spring, the leaves on several of my Tucca gloriosas and Yucca recurvifolia have these spots. I don't think these spots are any sort of cold damage since some yuccas, planted away from these - in even less sheltered spots, are fine. I've grown these yuccas for years and have never seen this before. Any thoughts?

My guess is nothing can be done about these damaged leaves now. I assume I just have to be more vigilent against Yucca Bugs this season to avoid them. But I'd love anyone's comments, if they are familiar with this.
