Apple
Hi, can anyone tell me what this disease is? It's a young dwarf apple, malus braeburn. It looks like white fluffy mould, but when I have just sprayed it (like in the photo) the white fluff disappears and I see small brown lumps in clusters on the stems. They look like tiny insects but don't move at all, and when you squash them they produce a reddish-brown liquid.

I agree with Mattana. To control this pest, you could remove the most attacked parts and spray neem oil.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll have to go and buy some neem oil. I don't really want to cut off all infested parts as that would be most of the plant. I've also just seen a video on YouTube recommending spraying with a shampoo solution. What do you think?

Hi Katherine Bartlett You can also use this solution Soap solution Ingredients: • 1 liter of water • 1% mineral oil (10 milliliters of oil) • 1% neutral detergent (10 milliliters of detergent) Mix the mineral oil in the soap. Subsequently, dissolve the soap and oil mixture in 1 L of warm water. Then place the dissolved soap in the remaining 9 L of water. Spray on the plants every 7 days.
