    Q
    Why were my apple trees still bad and wormy after I sprayed Bonide Fruit Tree spray last year?
    How can I make it right this year. I still have the concentrated spray. I have three small trees.
    A

    Bonide Fuit Tree Spray Concentrate is labeled to treat for insects and diseases on apple trees. When doing a pest control treatment, of any kind, it's important to have a positive identification of the pest you want to treat for, it is a possibility you could be dealing with a pest that the product is not labeled for. Also, make sure to always follow the label instructions.

    Q
    Is Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate safe for an all season spray for asian pears?
    A

    Bonide Fruit Tree Concentrate is not labeled for use on pear trees. You don't state what you are treating for specifically or trying to prevent, but Fertilome Triple Action with 70% Neem Oil would be a great all season spray, and can be used up until the day of harvest.

    Q
    Can I use Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate for Western Grapeleaf Skeletonizers?
    I need a reasonably inexpensive insecticide to kill Western Grapeleaf Skeletonizers. I want to nuke them. I do not care about the grapes - they won't be eaten. My only other stipulation is that I don't want to harm the plant.
    A

    Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate is labeled for them and should do a good job.  EverGreen Pro 60-6 is another option for a fast knockdown kill.  Both are safe when used as directed on grapes.
