Woolly aphids!
Moderators: KG Steve, Chantal, Tigger, peter
I was summer-pruning my apples last weekend, and was stopped in my tracks on seeing a problem I haven't experienced in many years of growing apples, but instantly recognized - woolly aphids! The RHS Fruit Book recommends using systemic insecticides, but I'd rather not. Has anyone got any other suggestions, please?

Don't know sorry... I've been lucky to not face aphids in jumpers! The normal ones are bad enough Will be watching this post to see if anyone has any ideas
Good to hear from you, Johnboy. This in fact is what I've done - and I think the heavy rain last weekend may also have washed some away/drowned some. So far, so good, but I'll keep an eye on the trees for sign of a return.
