Chris2122 starts with ... I seem to have my fig tree leaves curling upwards. It seems to be the younger leaves. I did take a closer look and found leaf hoppers, small white insects that fly around when I shake a branch. Any idea how I could get rid of these pests? I have attached a photo of the insect also. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chris2122 says... Thank you. I have bought some neem oil from Bunnings and let’s see how we go. It seems I need to spray it a couple of time as I have done once and still have the critters around. I will need to make sure the undersides are also sprayed and continue to spray every 7 days. Not sure what eco pistol is? | About the Author Chris2122 EASTWOOD,2122,NSW 31st December 2020 2:27pm #UserID: 17006 Posts: 12 View All Chris2122's Edible Fruit Trees |

Chris2122 says... Thank you for your suggestions but none seem to work. I have tried the following over the last 3 years with no success: - NEAM oil - eco pistol oil - pyrethrum spray I even cut back the tree to a point where it was just the stump. The leaves have begun to grow from the new shoots and yes they already have leafhoppers on them. I am not sure where to go from here…..do I just cut my losses and remove the tree???? | About the Author Chris2122 EASTWOOD,2122,NSW 16th October 2022 1:02pm #UserID: 17006 Posts: 12 View All Chris2122's Edible Fruit Trees |
