RE: URBAN GARDEN - CONTROLLING CITRUS PESTS IN QUEENSLAND BACKYARD GARDENS

in HiveGarden7 months ago

My goodness such a battle. When I have this much going on, I usually cave and just start spraying whatever nasty chemicals that are called for. Then I just don't eat the fruit for a year (yeah you still have to harvest it so you don't have rotting fruit around). I had some young cherry trees that were fighting multiple pests that I had to break out some chemicals on this year. Fortunately they aren't producing fruit yet anyway. I really try hard to limit chemical use but fruit trees are soooo hard. Seems easier to avoid chemicals in the rest of the garden.
