What's eating my campsis x tagliabuana 'madame galen'?

This hybrid trumpet vine is robust but shares the same pest vulnerabilities as its Campsis parents. Aphids are the most likely visitor on new growth and flower buds. Spider mites flare in hot dry summers, and whitefly can build up in sheltered sites. The plant's vigour means most healthy specimens shrug off light infestations.

Soft shoot tips and flower buds become sticky and distorted; honeydew promotes black sooty mould on leaves below Dislodge with a water jet; apply insecticidal soap or neem oil; rely on lacewings and ladybirds where populations are light

Pale yellow stippling on leaves followed by bronzing and premature leaf drop during prolonged dry, hot periods Water plants well during dry spells; spray foliage with water; apply neem oil or a miticide in persistent cases

White adults visible when leaves are shaken; sticky honeydew and sooty mould develop on foliage below feeding colonies Yellow sticky traps for early detection; insecticidal soap sprayed on undersides; reduce nitrogen-heavy feeding that produces the succulent growth whitefly prefer
