I accidentally sprayed my indoor Persian Lime tree with Bonide Fruit Tree Spray in hopes of killing spider mites, I did not read the label but learned that it is not safe for citrus plants. Sadly, my healthy Lime Tree has been losing lots and lots of leaves daily now, Can you tell me if this is going to kill my lime tree or will it rebound. I've had this beautiful tree for over 30 years on a large 24" container and want to do what I can to save it if so.
Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate is not labeled for citrus trees. Because of this, it could damage or kill your tree depending on how much was applied. For restoring the health of the lime tree, we would recommend contacting Bonide directly or your Cooperative Extension Office. Bonide can be reached directly at 315-736-8231
