Hi Everyone,

My wife and I just purchased a new (old) house and in the corner of the
lot is a cherry tree that's absolutely infested with aphids. It's not
huge - About 10 feet tall and 10 feet in diamter.

What's the best way to get of these critters and bring this tree back
to its former happy state?

Cheers,

In the longer term, try hanging some bird-feeders to attract small
birds to the area. They will eat the aphids.
