    Hi all,

    Just moved house and inherited a well established grape vine.

    This is our first spring with it and it's starting to grow beautifully. (It looked dead over the winter but it's coming back really well).

    However, my wife has just noticed quite a lot of what I assume are eggs on it.

    Anyone know what these are? (and more importantly, what to do with them).




    Thanks,


    Chris.

      I have the same exactly. I wash the, peach in my case, plant with winter tar oil then in the spring soapy cloth /brush and rub everything. They always seem to return if left alone. Ants may be their friend and seem to cause black sticky mildew which if left unattended will ruin crop.

      if not that many , I have used in the past mentholated spirits on a cloth and just wipe over them works a treat , same with scale insect on my bay trees also removes sooty mold at the same time , tedious I know but I can use the leaves later on in the year rather than use a pesticide.
