I recently planted a wall climbing Apple tree which is flowering, unfortuntely it is being devoured by small snails. Does anyone have advice on how to deal with these please?

    @jude.way I think it is a case of picking them off and then do what you will. They will be attracted to young new leaves. Walls are also a place they like to live in 'colonies'  so that won't help especially if there are damp areas to hide.
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
