Re: Hawaii growers???
Yes aphids are always a chore. You'll also will notice lots of ants. I've seen some plants in this area with BBV. We try to educate the owners on proper disposal of the plants and that has helped keep BBV under control.
I try to keep my plants as healthy as possible and utilize cinnamon, chili peppers and baking soda to ward off the ants.
