White poplar

A seed in the wind fell down in a pot and I was born: a small tree in the middle of many other plants. My name is white poplar because the underside of my leaves is white.

Humans realized that I was a tree and they gave me a bigger home. At the beginning I was growing a lot and felt happy.
However, when starting my third summer I was attacked by many small white bugs that almost killed me.

They were many and were eating all my food.

The fourth summer the awful bugs came back but all of a sudden, very friendly bugs came, the ladybugs. They laid their eggs on my leaves and from them, many larvae were born.

The ladybug larvae ate huge amounts of the bad bugs and thanks to them, now I have a chance. And without insecticides that are terrible because they kill everything. Now I can keep growing until touching the sky! By the way, do you know that dandelion, calendula, geranium, mint, mulberry, garlic, parsley and dill attract ladybugs?
