  • 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.

    Q
    Is it normal that the fruit tree spray made my sprayer explode?
    I used the Bonide fruit tree spray in a little 3 quart sprayer and mixed 1tbsp in with water. After spraying my trees I had about 2 inches left in the sprayer after about 10 minutes of it sitting, it made the sprayer explode as it ate through the plastic (like an acid, it also ate through a expandable hose when the concentrate spilt on it) Is this normal?
    A

    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.

    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.
