Since we have a high concentration of plants on the nursery, a variety of insects are drawn to them as a source of food and nutrition. We feel that this is all part of gardening and have to strike a balance between keeping the plants healthy for our customers and not interfering too much with natural lifecycles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe try to use as many natural methods of control as possible and only intervene as a last resort. So you may see some leaves that are discoloured or with small areas where the insects have been eating them. Any high levels of damage or attack will have been dealt with prior to delivery and plants graded out as best as possible when selected for packing. No plants will be delivered with damage that will affect the future growth or success of harvest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marshalls Garden","offers":[{"title":"1 x 10L Tree","offer_id":40512774438963,"sku":"10709445","price":59.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0104\/8100\/8691\/files\/10709445_Apple-Little-Pax-10L-IH-Oct-23-01.jpg?v=1734118836","url":"https:\/\/mershallsgarden.com\/products\/little-pax-apple-10l-tree-10709445","provider":"Marshalls Garden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
