Chewing up my leaves!

10 years ago

Typically I don't do anything on this one unless the aphids and Japanese beetles are causing heavy damage but I have a few rare 1 year grafts that are getting eaten up.

What would you recommend that I spray these little plants with or should I use a systemic? Perhaps I just leave them but they only have a few leaves to begin with!

My main considerations are fast acting and this is a young plant recently transplanted I don't want to use something that is going to cause more harm.

Sounds like the logical way to go. Have you tried it on any of your young little transplants?
