Hi,

We've recently just planted an Acer Platanoides Red Leafed Norway Maple
in our garden.

I went to water it the other day and give a look over when i noticed
that quite a few of the leaves had holes in them and have been eaten.

Not a serious issue this phenological stage.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.



At first i thought it could be slugs as we have a lot of them around
these parts - then i had another look today and noticed a lot of green
mites.I'm not sure what they are,whether they are greenfly or not ?

Does anybody have any ideas of what they are and how to get rid of them
please,they're making a right mess of our lovely tree !
