Thanks Tony. On a recommendation, I tried rhubarb leaf decoction with some soap flakes. It seems to have had little effect. I am waiting on a pepper James Hedley is sending me. OTOH the trees are basically healthy, so losing a few leaves is not such a bad thing. I just don't want it to get so bad that there are no leaves left at all. I have a nettle tea that is almost ready. I'll give that a try in the meantime.
