Hey all, I picked up this podocarpus from Wigerts couple months back before the big storm.

I noticed this little black spots that seem to rub off fairly easily but they keep returning. Are these some type of scale?

I just treated with 50/50 rubbing alcohol/water with some dishsoap mixed in, hoping that helps but it would be better to know what I am dealing with or if anyone else has had experience with this.
