Fukien teas are nice trees. I do like them a lot. But they do seem to be a magnet for bugs. Especially aphids.
If one has a green house that is bug infested there is a cure. Put a couple of tea's in there for a week. When you take the tea's out all the bugs will follow them. ;o)
Years ago I gave up and went to a systemic insecticide. (Orthanex by name) This went a long way toward curing the problem.
