Pro-Tips from Kent Countryside Nursery:
Protect Our Pollinators (Timing is Key): When treating fruit trees like apples, pears, peaches, or plums in the Carmel area, never spray this product while the trees are in full, active bloom. Waiting until the flower petals have naturally dropped ensures you protect our essential local honeybees and pollinators.
Get Total Coverage: Fungal spores and tiny pests like aphids and mites love to hide out in the shadows. When applying with a standard compression pump or backpack sprayer, make sure you thoroughly drench the foliage—coating the tops of the leaves, the undersides, the branches, and the developing fruit clusters completely.
Beat the Midday Heat: Always apply your spray during calm, wind-free early mornings or late evenings when local temperatures are below 90°F. This stops the spray from drifting onto neighboring properties and prevents the hot afternoon sun from magnifying on the wet leaves, which can cause foliage burn.
