I liked all the info on what chemical is best with what tree. I would hate to kill a tree with a wrong use of a chemical. However, I would take every use into serious consideration. I don't think I could use a "cide" routinely. There are too many issues with that. We live in a very biodiverse habitat and I am seriously reluctant to routinely disturb the food chain, even if my trees are in it. Maybe I will regret it some day after a mite attack but I will just take the chance. I use the dish soap method for aphids and it works great.
