Backyard orchard pests
Please pick up all fallen fruit and destroy it eg seal it in a bread bag. Fruit from some trees is now falling on the ground - eg plums, peaches, oranges - depending on their ripening season and also whether they are infected with a disease eg black spot, brown rot. Also, the execrable guava moth. With the latter, you'll notice a pin hole in the fruit where the moth has laid her egg. The eg hatches and the grub burrows within the fruit making it inedible. We can help limit the damage done by these pests and diseases by promptly picking up any fallen fruit, sealing it in a plastic bag and binning it. Many thanks.
