Wetting agent you mean like a dish soap or fairy up ? And thanks I'm gna have a go with the 60 40 milk solution and then if it don't work I'll try the neem it was only on one small leaf out of the whole tent and nowhere else I've removed multiple leaves and tomorrow ill
Go and start the ipm for it and hopefully it wont return

Yes dish soap works as wetting agent but detergent isn't recommended for reasons idk ?
I've used fairy liquid on my honeysuckle plenty times with no problems ever?
Castile soap or a purpose made wetting agent is usually recommended.

Ime wetting agent/soap is super important it messes with surface tension preventing beading and 90% running off, fwiw used for pests water engulfs them and they drown, usually their hairs work with surface tension giving them a safety bubble, if you get the opportunity try a drop or two on water with springtails and you'll see them fall through the surface.

I've a few pics of my apple tree to share, I'm pleased with how it's come on.

To begin with I wasn't too enthusiastic about it but I'm getting to enjoy working with it and I'll get a better start next year so I'm looking forward to it now.

When I pruned it earlier in the year I left a 6" stump hoping it would sprout a shoot closer to the tree.

That shoot is much closer to the tree idk how it'll work out but I'm curious to see that's part of the enjoyment.

I've a buddy with a victoria plumb tree so I'm going to arrange a few shoots or buds to try and graft it, I'm not too fussy about apples but victtoria plumbs are delicious.

@Liamp1603 my fingers are crossed that it clears it up for you.

Have a great weekend folk's
