Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comI have a holly bush in a pot on the patio and recently I have noticed scaley lumps on the leaves. It is swarming in ants and some of the berries are turning black and drying out. Is there anything I can do to help it, as I really don’t want it to die?
