insectiside recommendations
Hi,
I have a 4m high by 9m long conifer hedge. It is either a leylandi or thuja type, although I have done some research I cannot be exactly sure. The hedge is made up of 4 trees, and since its last pruning about 6 months ago (which I did not do), some brown patches have appeared, majority on 1 tree, slightly on another and none on the other 2. I have researched the potential cause of the browning, and know it could be due to many causes, and that it may never recover. One of these could be some kind of insect infestation. In the scenario of an assumed insect infestation I was thinking of getting some insectiside and spraying the hedge. I am under the opinion of spraying it for the sake of it will at least eliminate an insect cause, even if not actually present. I haven't got a clue what type of insectiside to use or what equipment. Also the potential side effects on the hedge itself, flowers and other plants in the same soil, animals and children. Can anyone give me any advice? Thanks, James |
