I can't pick the fruit from the very top of the trees, so it rots and falls to the ground, and then it attracts mice and birds unless I clean it up straight away. I'm getting the trees all lopped back so I can get a break from all the cleaning up all this fallen fruit. This blog is all about how to get your backyard fruit trees lopped so that you don't have to clean up as much fallen fruit.

Recognising the signs of insect infestation and having it professionally removed early is key, so here are two common insects in Australia that can cause serious damage to your trees, along with methods of spotting them.
