Plum trees

Had good crop of plums this year,but when opened, had little pink wormlike grubs in them-how can I prevent this? Hi Ivor, Pink grubs are a sign of plum moth. The only thing you can do is spray the tree at the right time. You can get pheremone by Ivor

3 year old leaf mould containing cameraria ohridella

We have gathered leaves onto one site for rotting down for at least 3 years. For the last 2 the trees nearby have shown clear signs of the leaf mining moth. We went on heaping them on to our heap. Now we learn that the problem is managed by Carole Gadsby

my rosemary!!

can I do? Hello jdjp122, This sounds like tortrix moth. These moth caterpillars roll leaves around themselves to protect themselves - a very successful strategy. Carnation tortrix moth is known to attack many different plant species, including herbs by jdjp122
