Fertilome Tree & Shrub Insect Drench is for use on outdoor trees and shrubs including listed fruit and nut trees: Apple, Loquat, Oriental Pear, Crabapple, Mayhaw Pear, Pecan, and Quince. One soil drench treatment per year during early spring to early fall is recommended for a preventative treatment program before insect damage occurs.
Fertilome Tree & Shrub Insect Drench does take time to absorb depending on the size of the plant or tree. This can range from one week to 3 months for full absorbtion. Soil drench applications should be be done 2-3 months before the expected pest infestation you are targeting.
Please contact your local cooperative extension office to determine the correct timing of the application for your specific area.
