Fuschia gall mite
By Drc726
East Sussex,
England 
We are asked by the British fuschia society 'to please be very vigilant wherever you live and report any suspected cases to your local DEFRA Plant Health Office' 'Further details of this pest can be found in the BFS leaflet no. 15 – “Fuchsia Gall Mite, Important Information” fuchsia@aindale.net'. As I wanted to increase my fuschia plants (I will not have that many perhaps 20) does anyone know if this is a real threat or a bit like
scaremongering?
