Hi chaps

Have just noticed lots of busy bugs on my weeping cherry. I've got some "Bug Clear" for flowers - is it a good idea to use this on my tree(s) too?

Probably, unless the instructions say otherwise. The main thing with insecticides is edible/non-edible usage.

If in doubt ask the manufacturers.

Are they little black bugs? Likely to be black fly. You can just make up a solution using wasking up liquid and spray them with that!

Yes, knowing what you're up aginst is a good start. 'Bugs' can cover everything from viruses to cockroaches so isn't really good enough!
