On the bugs issue, let me add a postscript.
I've had problems with both scale -- especially on my neriifolias -- and whitefly. Horticultural spray oil works OK for me, since it smothers the beasties. I also use a systemic, which does wonders, but must, repeat must, be kept away from children. I haven't tried Neem oil, except mixed with an insecticidal soap.
Anyone else have success with some other product?
