Here on the nursery we have found hanging old cd's in the tree the most effective method of control; these must be in place from approximately mid March until after the fruit has been harvested.

Healing Plants
Time is a great healer – but so is nature! Natural lotions and potions for minor first aid requirements are often simple to make, and easy to grow.

Grow your own first aid kit in your garden with our range of medicinal plants and healing plants – all supplied with a complementary planting and growing guide. For safe and coordinated care, always inform your health care providers that you are using natural and alternative medicine plants, especially if you are elderly, frail or pregnant.
