If it is Japanese Beetle attack, you can also use malathion or
pyrethrins. To keep the
spray working longer after a rain, you can add a 'sticker' to the
spray. Hope these
critters don't find my Stanley Plum tree.

Hi,

I have a an 8 year old purple plum tree that has never had a problem
with it's leaves. However. today I noticed a large amopunt of leaves
espacially on the top half of the tree seem to being eaten by
simething. The leaves have a lace like appearence with a lot of small
holes in each.

Does anyone know what the problem is and if I should spray the tree
and with what?

Thank you very much.
