hebe with an ugly black sooty coating
 

Hebe - I think Autumn Glory -in a small east-facing front garden has thrived
for some years but now has an ugly black 'sooty' coating on some top growths
..Think plantmaybe 6-8 yrs old. Any advice appreciated. Have searched a bit
but am not getting useful answers.

Thanks ,Emrys, there is a large lime tree growing in the verge in front of
next-door's, and I was aware of the sticky aphid excrement presence but I've
never had the sooty stuff before!
