Hi there,
We have a beautiful 35 ft juniperus in our garden, probably a red cedar, that dangerously becomes yellow. Spring has been moderately warm but very dry, and I have noticed a lot of red spider mites one month ago in the garden. I have not seen a big quantity around the tree and along the trunk (two or three), so I was not worried. But now, I am...
I am a complete newbie to gardening. I keep it moist at the moment, and try to wash red spider mites with my hose, as high as I can. Is this a good idea ? I plan to buy some pesticide for red mites but wonder how I am going to reach the top ! Could a treatment at the bottom be sufficient ?
Is the jupinerus likely to die and will dead foliage be replaced in the future ?
I'm in New Zealnad. Thank you for you help.
