How should I treat an infestation on my fruit trees?

Answer by  patti (29325)

If possible, take samples of the infestation in a sealed plastic bag to the County Extension office. Someone there can probably help you identify the problem, and based on the kind of tree, suggest a solution. You can also get information from a reputable nursery where the staff is experienced and knowledgeable.
