Usually nothing. They’re easy enough to knock off with water. If its a heavy infestation, ill use some insecticidal soap.What do you use for aphids?

If you want to cut past a candle, to push the growth back, is now a good time?In Houston, July is decandling season for Black Pine. Steps involved are:
- Cut the candle straight across the neck separating the new growth from last years needles. Leave a short nub of the neck above the old needles.
- Thin the growth. Prune for branch structure and to ensure there is enough room for the density of needles to come.
- Pull needles. Find the area of the tree with the lowest density of needles. Reduce the needle density on the stronger areas so they are closer to the needle density of the weaker areas. Keep minimum of 4-5 pairs of needles on each shoot.View attachment 386193View attachment 386192
Hi,The 60 would have to be Milliliters. It would take forever to count 60 tablespoons or any other measurement. Plus that would be a lot of product used per batch! I'm sure there's mL marked on the syringe to extract ftom those cups.
Hi Gustavo - early spring is a good time to prune back to interior shoots.If you want to cut past a candle, to push the growth back, is now a good time?
Alternating and opposite leaf pattern is slightly different. I’ll post a picture to explain. “60” is 60ml.Hi @markyscott ,
Great thread here, with lots of learning.
Two questions -
1st - this I don’t understand in my development of tridents and other opposite leaf species. So I wire my branches and then cutback to the second buds. Then I get two sets of subsequent growth. Do I cut one side of each growth to get alternating growth, or am I doing it wrong and I should just cut back to one bud after wiring? (and keep with the opposite branching like 2 then 4 then 8 etc
2nd - this one is much easier to answer. One of your previous pictures show a 5 litre container of Humic acid. Does the 60 written on the container equal 60mls or 60 something imperial?
Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer my questions esp #1.

Sorry about that. We’ll circle back to this thread again.I was bummed to get to the end of the thread and not get fall and winter work included. Totally get it with your big move though!
