RE: Gardening Community Forum 1 : Help! My Baby Cherry Trees Are Under Black Aphids' Attack What Should I Do?

in #gardening8 years ago

Thank you for posting @englishtchrivy.

Lovely birds singing in the videos. Interesting topic. Aphids always a problem...so glad you are keeping an eye on them...lovely for the trees to be trained as espeiliers.

As for the aphid problem.....for roses...bleujay sprays water with a bit of washing up liquid poured in and mixed gently in a spray bottle...however with your sensitive area....one might suggest a dipping of the branch into a bucket of such a mix....trying to keep the water from becoming foamy so that you can see the pests in the bucket...again using a white bucket so you can see the results.

Here is hoping you will find a solution.

@bleujay - Thank you .. have never thought of dipping the branch to drown them annoying pests...

yes, i train them to be espaliers cause I don't have much space :D
and my other garden has much trees too already but I'd like to keep these nearby
I was hoping the blackbird calling his mate (it was black so male yes?) in the background would peck on them but even the great tits and the red breast robins that visit my garden seem to not see them. They're well hidden. Am more worried they'll eat the fruits later haha they should eat the aphids :(
