Myzus persicae has an enormous host range including most fruit trees and is the commonest aphid in Australia (all exotic). We need expert taxonomic advice to confirm the apple aphid.

Thanks. All aphids look much the same to me. I have had them on an apple tree, rose bushes, hellebores and plum trees. Must have been good conditions for them.
