Hello, my tamarillo is infested with aphids (lot's of ants) and with something like a mold on the underside of the leaves, any suggestions?

Deal with the ants first by smearing honey and borax on trunk. Aphids are killed by all the usual insecticides . I use permethrin but any pyrethroid will work and probably the least toxic . Recent work on rotenone aka Derris dust seems to point to its undesirability and greater than anticipated toxicity.

Thanks B. Where do I get borax, and is it toxic for humans?

Any large supermarket will have it . It is a cleaning agent I think.

I had heaps of aphids on mine and sprayed them with an organic pest control spray (containing garlic and chili)...it worked a treat!!!
