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.

I wish there was something I could do to get rid of the #%$! spider mite on
my key lime tree. I give a thorough blasting shower once a week. I've
sprayed it numerous times with soap and twice with BioNeem in the past
three years. This morning when it was getting its regular Saturday
shower...WEBS! There's no other plants in the house with spider mite that I
can tell...I've even checked them over with my magnifying glass just to
make sure I'm not missing something...most of them also get a shower at
least once a month just to stay clean and healthy looking.

I grew this tree from seed and its now about 4 feet tall, very healthy and
full, except for the persistent spider mites...#%$!!!!
