hi guys
its kinda embarassing posting this message...
i just checked my Chinese Elm...and i was always wondering why the leaves had 50% browning on the tips. i first thought it was it drying out in the heat...
but then i noticed some leaves being chewed up by bite marks.
when i looked with a magnifying glass.... i saw little green bugs...
im thinking they might be Aphids. they may be the one causing the Semi-Browning leaves?
and then i saw 2 small little caterpillar with really long greyish/black furr & a few eggs.
i instantly squashed those caterpillars... but the aphids...
what should i do guys
?
ive just put a bottle of soapy water and sprayed the hell out of the tree....and got my fingers crossed...
but the LAST question is...what should i do with the infected leaves?...the half browning leaves and the ones with chew marks...
should i just cut them off...cause they look UGLY.... and its pointless having them on right?
thanks heaps
let me know everyone
