Ferti-Lome Fruit Tree Spray with Neem Py is going to be a contact kill product with very little, if any, residual. Per the product label, "This product is toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment. Do not apply this product while bees are actively visiting the treatment area." Unfortunately, we do not have other products that are safe for use on fruit trees which would be considered more safe for use around bees with the same labeling. If you have caterpillars or other similar feeding worm stages of insects, then you could use a Bt product such as DiPel PRO DF Biological Insecticide. Bt only targets feeding larvae stages of listed insects and is not harmful to pollinators such as bees when used as directed.

Per the product label: As a preventative, apply fertilome FRUIT TREE SPRAY on a 7 to 14 day schedule until the potential for disease development is no longer present. To control disease already present, apply fertilome FRUIT TREE SPRAY on a 7 day schedule until disease pressure is eliminated.

To prevent powdery mildew, apply in mid-summer or when disease is first detected. For brown patch and dollar spot, begin spraying at first sign of disease on a 7 to 14 day interval. For snow mold, begin spraying on a 14 day interval in the fall before the first snow. Continue applications until disease pressure no longer exists.

What should Ferti-lome Fruit Tree Spray with Neem Py look and smell like?
I bought this a few years ago and never opened it, and always stored it in the house. I opened it tonight to use it and it smelled really terrible, and was kind of brown. I'm pretty sure this needs to go to the hazardous waste site. I don't feel like I want to eat fruit sprayed with it.
