| Hello--I have 2 snowball viburnum that are about 2 years old. Right now, they are flowering profusely, but the leaves are curling at the tips (which I discovered are leaf curl aphids), and there are also huge colonies of aphids on the new shoots at the bottom.
I'm a novice gardener, and I'd like to know if there are organic ways of treating these aphids. What products are good and easy to apply? Also, is it a good idea to prune off the leaf curl instead of spraying the bush? Thanks so much for your help! |
