# I planted this tree this year in my backyard. I noticed the leaves…

_Posted by Lindsey Nichole on 2023-08-18_

I planted this tree this year in my backyard. I noticed the leaves are looking like it might have bugs. First tree I ever planted so this may be a stupid question because obviously it’s outside and will get bugs but should I spray my tree with neem spray? I have it for my plants but wasn’t sure if I could use it on a tree? Or maybe it’s fine the way it is? Thank u for any help!!!

I don’t really know anything about trees but I suggest spraying it with neem spray or some other natural no chemicals spray.
