Hi All
Can you please help? My fruit trees were planted early last year (from Tesco) and are rife with disease. I've tried a Tesco spray but although the aphids disappear the damage continues.
I've attached photos.... any advice appreciated!!!
Cheers, Aidan

I bought some some native ladybird larvae years back (they are even more voracious aphid guzzlers than their parents), sprinkle them on an apple and an elder that were infested and they cleaned them up within a week. The larvae then turned into adult ladybirds, who laid eggs on the plants, so the cycle continued. It was great to watch!
