Nelson: I would certainly want you to test the soap/alcohol solution on
a small part on one of your fat plants first. I know for a fact that my
Black Olive (Bucida Spinosa) wasn't very happy when I sprayed near it
covering several lower branches.. The leaves on those branches turned
beige and dropped off. :-( Of course they regrew healthy leaves, but it
sure gave me a scare! :-)
