  • Ants crawling up my fruit trees

    Hi there I've noticed ants crawling up my gage, Apple and damson trees. All have pretty healthy leaves but in the case of the 2 plums, the bark doesn't look great. Will try and take photos tomorrow night after work but wondered if anyone had any immediate thoughts?

    Put some grease bands around them. They'll either be farming aphids or after any already damaged fruit.

      Check the undersides of the young leaves and the growing tips for aphids - kill any with finger and thumb, trying not to damage your tree.
