Yorkshire Garden. Recently landscaped our garden. Planted 100’s of things. Now have our hands full learning how to keep it all alive 😂

Aphids on my apple tree. Any ideas on how to get rid without nasty chemicals? #help

Fairy liquid mixture sprayed on them or just squish them with your fingers! If you can find any 🐞🐞 they'd eat them up! 😃

Soapy water or soapy water with a few drops of neem oil should do the trick. @BugglePop

The pressure of a water hose would help clear a majority of it off. My roses were starting to house a few and with the hose I cleared them right off. Checking up on them daily and watering the area where I see them. @BugglePop

Thank you @anges & @rudester1. I will hose it down tomorrow and then spray with soapy water. Will also move any ladybirds I see onto the tree

Espalier 2 tier currently. Eventually hope to get it to 4 tiers. On an east facing wall. Falstaff paired with a Pinova. And next to 2 pear’s
