We have trouble with aphids too. Aphids are farmed by ants. They can be knocked off with soap sprays, but you need to stop the ants or they'll be right back. A band of tanglefoot around the trunk works well.
Have tried the tanglefoot put on over a wrap of plastic so that it doesn't damage the trunk. It only lasts about a year unless a good wind ruins it by blowing the mulch all over it! I just need to keep on those ants better.
