| Last fall, I planted several "Compacta' holliesl. They did well till the middle of summer when they became infested with whiteflies. I sprayed and sprayed with malathion and finally controlled the infestation, but not before losing two plants, and several others are visibly damaged. My question is; should I replace the damaged plants as well or can you suggest a fertilization protocol to get these shrubs growing well? |

If you can regularly monitor and tolerate some damage to your plants, over time Mother Nature strikes a balance, with the beneficials coming in to control the bad guys.
