  Lol, thought there was something fishy going on. I had a feeling it might be due to the cold snap and stress, just wanted another opinions. Thanks

  I agree, Cod are in short supply, and as a result have taken to land and are collectively attacking Choisya as a food source.
  
  Two options,
  
  a. move away from the coast
  b. buy a trawler
  
  : )

  I agree, almost certainly the cold, i've never known a choisya get and diseases. - but Choisya is quite good at coming back from bare stems. Scale insect may be unsightly, and i'd remove it where possible (like I did here http://plant-passion.typepad.com/plant_passion/2010/08/whats-up-wit...) but it isn't going to kill your plant by die back, - it would however weaken it, and make the leaves go mottled.
