 Folks

I have two stellar cherries and have cropped these for the year but am now
suffering an infestation of cherry slug that has skeletonised about on third
of the leaves. I was wondering whether I should spray with Caboryl or just
let nature take its course. If I leave the leaves alone and they get mainly
skeletonised will that effect next years growth? Could I simply prune the
trees now back say by a third or greater? Any information will be
appreciated

how interesting! (and a little odd). not long after i wrote that post i read
to try throwing wood ashes onto the slugs; it dries them out & they die.
(being a sensible person, i got dh to do it instead of me. i think he got
most of the ash on himself & about none on the slugs!)

what is digging in the ashes designed to do? will it stop the babies in the
ground from ever hatching & climbing the tree?
thanks.
