Ooops, too much Agent Orange on Sunday nights! I think I used B&Q's
aphid killer. Any serious suggestions, please? "Soot" seems to be
spreading


Try Bordeaux mixture.

That might kill the mould but it won't do anything for the real problem which is
probably scale insects. A systemic insecticide applied to the soil (like
Bio-Provado) might help. It will work better in spring when things are growing
fast.

Thanks to all contributors. As I said on Sunday, there is some form of
aphid growth on the back of the leaves, small white lavae (2mm) now
dead but "soot" seems to be spreading.
