English Oak Tree

Henk — Fri, 11 May 2012 11:38:54 +0200

It is autumn in South Africa and my beautiful oak tree's leaves are infected with a black fungal (?)disease. In fact, the wall and paving around the tree are also turning black. There is a tacky gum-like substance deposited on my windscreen when I park my car underneath the tree. It is a huge old tree and desperately needs help. Can you please advise?

Curled leafs on pomegranate trees

pieter — Mon, 07 May 2012 09:29:51 +0200

Hi, My pomegranate trees (new growth) have curled leafs. There is no damage to the leaves and I don't think it looks a 100% like thrips. Any other ideas on what it can be and how to manage? The leaves curled up both from the sides and then also "spirals". They sort of rectify themselves when a bit bigger and then no damage can be seen.

pyrocide

Jannie — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 20:27:55 +0200

I wish to know witch insecticide contains "PYROCIDE" or "PYRONOL" for the control of Mosquitoes externally on a farm environment. I am a owner of a Christian Centre for substance addicted people and we got a plague of Mosquitoes on the farm. During day time or in the evening it is basically impossible to walk in the veld. Here is also a big dam on the farm. This is Karoo-area (South Africa) and the evenings is very warm and nice, but we cant enjoy it. Here is genuine thousands of Mosquitoes and they literally attack the people in their hundreds if they walk outside.

I urgently need something to spray on the grass, garden, surroundings and near the water tanks.

Regards
Jannie

Could you please advise me as to which product I can use on my young lemon tree. There are numerous ants and in summer a hairy black,white and orange worm appears that chomps the leaves. At time the leaves appear to be nobbly almost like round bubbles within the leaf.
My Eureka Lemon tree has been in the ground for under 2 years and it seems to be growing slowly and has not yet bared any lemons.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Tried Malasol without much effect. Could be I did not spray frequently enough. Afraid of damaging the trees.
