Does Monterey Florel Brand Growth Regulator work on a female Chinese Pestache?

The berries/nuts are a horrible nuisance.

Answer:

Unfortunately, Chinese Pestache and other Pistacia trees are not specific on the product label for Monterey Florel Brand Growth Regulator, so we are not sure if Florel would be effective or not. Per the product label:  "A foliar spray of FLOREL BRAND GROWTH REGULATOR will reduce or eliminate undesirable fruit development on many ornamental trees and shrubs such as: Apple, Carob, Crabapple, Elm, Flowering pear, Flowering plum, Horsechestnut (Buckeye), Oak, Olive, Sour Orange, Sweetgum, Sycamore and others. Applications must be made before fruit set for best results." We always recommend testing a small portion of a plant to test for tolerance and efficacy for plants not listed on the product label. The rate for fruit elimination is 3 fl oz per 1 gallon of water. Please refer to the label for complete application directions.
