Buy yourself a copy of The Fruit Expert - D G Hessayon £5

pages 50 - 57 deal with fruit tree problems - you may have...

Woolly Aphid - Colonies of aphids live on stems & branches secreting white waxy "wool" which protects them. Does little harm - Brish off "wool" with old toothbrush and methylated spirits.

Fruit Tree Tortrix Moth - Leaves spun together or attached to the fruit. Small active caterpillars feed inside protective cover. Hand pick spun leaves and spray (drench) with Fenitrothion or Hexyl.
