Copious amounts of oil and mechanical scrubbing seem to have done the job here too.

Olivecrazy - nice save.

I almost lost one of mine to scale a couple of years back but managed to save it with a systemic insecticide. I used 'Koinor' which gives season long control of a variety of parasites. One annual dose does it but it is toxic stuff so I apply a weaker solution twice a year - Never had a problem with anything since.
