Dear all,
 A few years ago I have lost a mimosa tree  because of a continuous  attack
of  "Metcalfa'   and during the winter 'mealy bug" No  chemical treament
solved the problem.
  The new Mimosa tree again was   attacked   and suffered badly.  Twee weeks
ago I  "cleaned" the  tree with a Karcher high pressure pump. A total
succes. I cannot think of any more ecological solution.
Greetings
