  • Asked by Cody from Wilkes-barre, Pa
    06/09/2014
    Q
    How often do I use the fruit spray. Your instructions say twice a year but retreatment interval of seven days.
    A
    According the manufacturer, this product has been EPA regulated to only use 2 times a year. The best time to apply to see best results is after the petal fall, then your 2nd application can be 3-4 weeks later. After you apply the Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate it will kill for up to 1 week. If insects or disease is still present, you can apply a 2nd time. Bonide recommends alternating insecticides when treating to help prevent resistancy to active ingredients. You could alternate with a product such as Hi Yield Indoor/Outdoor 10% Permethrin Insecticide. You may contact Bonide at 315-736-8231 for further information.

  • Asked by Melissa from Tacoma
    05/05/2016
    Q
    Can I treat my fruit trees after the blooms are gone & when there is fruit starting to form?
    I live in Seattle wa. & have 1 plum tree which is by itself, 1 Apple tree, 1 mixed up tree with both apples & pears on it & 1 asian pear tree which are all lined up with limbs touching. It's the beginning of May, I'm not sure if that would be considered early spring or ? My question is can I use bonide fruit tree spray after there's no more pink flower bloom & the fruit has started to form? Fruit is very little still. If I can use how many treatments should I do & when? And since branches are touching each other can I prune right now, same time as spraying? They all produce a lot of fruit. but from the bugs & so much disease we cannot eat the fruit. Thanks for any info you can provide.
    A

    Bonide Fruit Tree Spray can be used at green tip, pre bloom, full pink, petal fall, 1st Cover and 2nd Cover. We would not recommend doing the treatments until specified per the label. 

    Once an apple tree has filled in and is bearing fruit, it requires regular, moderate pruning.

    • Prune your mature tree when it is dormant. Completely cut away overly vigorous, upright stems (most common high up in the tree).
    • Remove weak twigs (which often hang from the undersides of limbs.
    • Shorten stems that become too droopy, especially those low in the tree.
    • After about ten years, fruiting spurs (stubby branches that elongate only about a half-inch per year) become overcrowded and decrepit. Cut away some of them and shorten others.
    • When a whole limb of fruiting spurs declines with age, cut it back to make room for a younger replacement.

  • Asked by George from Beattie Kansas
    04/19/2012
    Q
    When can I spray my pear tree with Bonide Fruit Tree spray? It looks like it has leaf spot. I live in Kansas.
    A
    Bonide Fruit Tree Spray is not labeled for use on Pear trees. Neem oil would be a good alternative as it is labeled for most fruit trees and for leaf spot. We recommend you contact your local cooperative extension office to determine the best time to apply products for leaf spot on pear trees in your region as timing will vary greatly from one region to another.

  • Asked by Ernest from Michigan
    06/08/2012
    Q
    Is it normal for Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate to settle in the bottle?
    A

    It is normal for some of the ingredients in the Bonide Fruit Tree Spray to settle to the bottom of the bottle. According to the product label:  Shake product thoroughly before use.  Contains micronic particles which settle upon standing and require re-blending by agitation.

     The manufacturer has also informed us that adding a little warm (but not hot) water to the concentrate bottle and shaking/agitating will help to break up any settling at the bottom.
