[IBC] fukien tea query
hello folks
i have a fukien tea which was in fine bloom last year but is currently without leaves and covered in small, brown, furry bud-like things. is this an ex-fukien tea or is there still some hope? Sounds like aphids. A pyrethrum spray (Concern, etc.) or a soap spray (also Concern, or Safers, or home brew -- see archives) should do 'em in. Then, if it is indoors, get the tree outdoors!!!! Do not water much while the tree is leafless. Let soil dry out, then water. Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - Blessed statistics: A Demonstration -- Welcome to Hooterville! Population: 2000.

The brown furry things are the buds. Do not remove them. Scratch the bark
with your fingernail and if there is green under the bark the tree can resprout. At this time, do not fertilize or move the tree around. Keep it warm, above 65 F degrees, and make sure that the soil is watered only when it gets slightly dry to the touch. Good luck.
