Many thanks,guys!
With all your helps, i think my plant will be safe! :)
I just gave it a blast of water, and by the look of it, 99% of aphids are gone!
It's raining now in Sydney,so I will leave the spray until later.
From now on I will keep a close watch on all my trees!
...yum yum! cheers.

Hi all,
I have one more question re to my peach tree. When is the best time to PRUNE it?
I have looked at the label but it only says ''Pruning is recommended''. Doesn't say When? :lost:
Thanks :tu:
...yum yum! cheers.
