I don't like using the big chemical club.
I like prevention, like spraying with dilute jin seal before the trees go into the wintering shed and once before they wake up.
For the occasional aphid I use some bio-degradable stuff or I find some ladybugs. Weak plants require more vigilance then healthy ones.
All my trees have been inoculated with Mycorrhiza spores.

Thanks for the reply Arihato. I definitely prefer to avoid strong chemicals where possible, which which is why my post asks about healthcare regimes as preventative measures... then I uses fungicides & insecticides as examples of what I was asking
I used Mycorrhiza spores this year for the first time; should/can they also be used on decidious species or is it purely for pines?
When you say 'jin seal' do you mean lime sulpher? What does this protect againsts?
), I'm sure it keeps the level of aphids and nuisance insects down too though
