So ever since i got this elm as a gift from a very reputable bonsai nursery near sacramento, it has had these little black dots. I alway thought of these as places where buds either had emerged or were going to emerge. But now it is having problems where the leaves on the ends of the shoots are crumbling and dying and now those black dots are making me wonder. I am postin pictures. in the first 2 you can see the leaf problems, and the 3rd shows a close up on the tiny black spots. They pictures ive seen of scale looked larger and more obviously insect than these do to me. idk. please help !
