According to the product label, applications of Monterey Florel Brand Growth Regulator should be made at the mid to full bloom stage, prior to fruit set in spray volumes sufficient to wet, but not to runoff. Failure to wet blooms thoroughly will cause incomplete fruit elimination. Spraying too much (until runoff) may cause some defoliation or other plant injury.
Sprays applied too early or too late will be less effective and result in incomplete fruit elimination
Monterey Florel Brand Growth Regulator will reduce or eliminate undesirable fruit development on many ornamental trees and shrubs. Although mulberry trees are not specifically stated on the label, this product may work to stop your trees from bearing fruit. For further product questions, you may reach the manufacturer directly at (559)-499-2100 or info@montereylawngarden.com.
Monterey Florel Brand Growth Regulator is not labeled to control cotton fuzz on silver poplar trees. We recommend that you consult with your local cooperative extension office for product recommendations as this month is when the heaviest amount occurs after pollination.
Monterey Florel Brand Growth Regulator is not labeled to control pods in a locust tree. Some articles recommend the use of the active ingredient Ethephon for this application, but unfortunately, we do not have a product with it that is labeled for use as effective on honey locust. Most plant growth regulators used to prevent fruit set must be applied as a full coverage spray during the mid- to full-bloom stage.
Monterey Florel Brand Growth Regulator does not list juniper on the label. The product label states that it has not been tested on all varieties of trees or shrubs which may have undesirable fruit. If it is necessary to treat plant species not listed above, treat only a small portion of the plant to determine the effectiveness of the product and to evaluate plant injury.
