Pests and Disease Evidence for Newbies
Posted: May 26th, 2010, 3:51 pm
Hi there crazy kids: If you have a pest or disease problem.......I suggest you seek medical attention 
But......if this applies to one of your much loved bonsai, for those who want to try and help, below are some guidelines that may ensure you get an answer sooner rather than later:
Include a thorough description of the problem
Always include a "clear" photo of the pest disease in question
Always Include a "clear" photo of the affected area/s
What species is it? Saying it is an apple is not much good. What type? Crabapple? Your typical fruiting apple?
Adding a post with a verbal description makes for a lot of guesswork and often the wrong answer meaning you may end up applying the wrong treatment based on a wild guess.
Adding a post saying photos to come is probably not much help either.
Whilst personally, I love helping with this kind of thing wherever I can (as do others) , although it would be handy at the races, few of us possess telepathic abilities. Pls help us to help you.
Most all of be patient. Unless you have a plague of locusts on your tree, 1 or 2 days should'nt make that much difference so don't panic.
Many thanks for your time
John
