Tanglefoot is like really sticky axel grease. You paint it on the tree truck,
down near the ground, and bugs can't climb up the trunk. They get caught
in the tanglefoot.

something is attracting the aphids. you might want to put some tanglefoot
around the
truck to trap the ants bringing in the aphids after you blow them off the
tree with
the insecticide soap. webs suggest mites. Ingrid

My plum tree is infested with aphids I sprayed it really good with a

I far as I can tell it's aphids (small green bugs). The tree has lots
of
sticky leaves and some webs on the leaves.
What else can I try?
