advice for my cherry tree please
I noticed some leaves on my cherry tree curled up, on investigation there is hundreds of black "eggs" I think they are, anyway they are all over the leaves and stems to the cherries, any idea's what they may be, and if I should be worried about them? Or how I can treat it safely? Many thanks

Sounds like black fly, a good rub between finger and thumb usually works, or use a dilute washing liquid solution spray. -
Sounds like cherry black fly...
I prune off any stems like that and burn then so they spread more slowly.i do however have a large tree do can afford to cut it back.
Not nice are they?Last edited by Nicos; 24-05-2015, 01:46 PM."Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

Cherry tree aphids,check for ants round the tree,they usually protect the aphid from ladybird predators. I rub the aphids off the leaves too & use a hand squirter on full power to blast them off,I use one squirt of hand soap,garlic is said to repel aphids,some people use cloves of crushed garlic in the water.Location : EssexComment

SQuirt them with an oil/water solition bit of cooking oil a few teaspoons in a litre of water and a drop of dishwash liquid it will suffocate them, if you have it neem oil is better as it suffocates them but also a poison to them ,stops them breeding and the smell scares them away as wellLiving off grid and growing my own food in Bulgaria.....Comment
