My mom's Magnolia tree is dripping sap all over. I read that it could a potential problem with scale. I do not see yellowing or brown leaves. It looks like a very healthy tree. I looked on branches for things that looked similar to pictures I've seen of scale. We are looking for someone who might come out to her house and diagnose and treat the tree. Any recommendations?
