They are tiny and seem to sit on the new growth. I'm looking for a natural remedy - something that doesn't do more harm to the environment (ie organic).

Use horticultural oil or for totally organis neem oil. They coat the bugs and they suffocate--no poisons. You can also use insecticidal soap--it works in the same way. The weakness of these is they are contact killers--if you don't hit them they will not die because ther are no poisons in these products. So spray the bottoms and tops of the leaves thoroughly and repeat a few times if needed.
You can get these at a good L&G Center.

Spray with soapy water. Try putting a little Ivory dishwashing soap in a spray bottle, add water, spray onto the bugs.
Other than that, Seven dust is great for what sounds like aphids.

Try going to Lowe's and ask someone who works there, they can tell you what works best on stuff like that.
