Any advice as to what is eating the new leaves on the Hass Avocado that we have just planted. There are very small black things on the leaves, which I take to be Pear & Cherry slug of some type??

It is planted in Mushroom Compost with a bit of the original potting soil receiving 5 hours of direct sunlight daily.

I hit it with some Pyrethrum on the weekend and I will monitor it to see how things go.

As it turns out, the Avocado wasnt being eaten by anything, it just needed some protection from the wind, so I've put a bit of wire around it with some shade cloth and voila, it is now going great. We have new leaves sprouting every day, so hopefully in 5 or so years we may have our first "Mexican" Avocado to share.
