Three methods to tackle Woolly Aphids - Have I found A Solution? Pear Tree| Pear Midge| Re-grafting|
On my Espalier Apple tree in our garden at home I noticed a localised infestation of Woolly Aphids recently - not something I get frequently but you need to act swiftly to manage this pest. I use three methods of management i.e.: pruning, brushing with methylated spirits, and using a Flit Sprayer with soap and neem oil emulsion. Down at the Micro-Orchard, I have been considering some further plans to tackle the problems caused by Pear Midge and leaf blister mite - and this is to re-graft the trees with the Pear Variety 'Concorde' as this appears to have resistance to the midge and some to the blister mite. Its an ongoing project and I will update accordingly.
