  • Asked by Melissa from Tacoma
    05/05/2016
    Q
    Can I treat my fruit trees after the blooms are gone & when there is fruit starting to form?
    I live in Seattle wa. & have 1 plum tree which is by itself, 1 Apple tree, 1 mixed up tree with both apples & pears on it & 1 asian pear tree which are all lined up with limbs touching. It's the beginning of May, I'm not sure if that would be considered early spring or ? My question is can I use bonide fruit tree spray after there's no more pink flower bloom & the fruit has started to form? Fruit is very little still. If I can use how many treatments should I do & when? And since branches are touching each other can I prune right now, same time as spraying? They all produce a lot of fruit. but from the bugs & so much disease we cannot eat the fruit. Thanks for any info you can provide.
    A

    Bonide Fruit Tree Spray can be used at green tip, pre bloom, full pink, petal fall, 1st Cover and 2nd Cover. We would not recommend doing the treatments until specified per the label. 

    Once an apple tree has filled in and is bearing fruit, it requires regular, moderate pruning.

    • Prune your mature tree when it is dormant. Completely cut away overly vigorous, upright stems (most common high up in the tree).
    • Remove weak twigs (which often hang from the undersides of limbs.
    • Shorten stems that become too droopy, especially those low in the tree.
    • After about ten years, fruiting spurs (stubby branches that elongate only about a half-inch per year) become overcrowded and decrepit. Cut away some of them and shorten others.
    • When a whole limb of fruiting spurs declines with age, cut it back to make room for a younger replacement.

    Q
    My 24" blooming peas & 2 tomato plants got hit with Bonide Fruit Tree spray. Are they damaged now?
    I have peas planted in a row behind a fruit tree row and they got wet with the Bonide Fruit Tree spray. The peas are blooming now. Should I pull them out? Are they damaged? I don't want to eat them if the Fruit Tree Spray is poisonous to them. THANK YOU!
    A

    Although Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate is not labeled to be applied to peas or tomatoes, it is not necessarily something that would be harmful.  We would recommend contacting the manufacturer directly to see what they would recommend.  You can reach Bonide by calling 315-736-8231.

  • Asked by Joe from Midland, Michigan
    05/30/2016
    Q
    Can I spray fruit trees in direct sunlight with the Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate?
    I see the instructions recommend spraying in the early morning or evening when the winds are calm and it's not in the heat of the day. My question is, if I spray early in the morning on a sunny day, will direct sunlight on the oily leaves harm the tree? How soon before the sun gets hot do I need to spray? Thank you.
    A

    As long as you are not applying the Bonide Fruit Tree Spray in the heat of the day then spraying when sunlight is hitting directly on the trees will not harm it. That being said, if you have the option to spray when there is no direct sunlight on the tree (typically more in the late evening) then that is a preferred time to spray.

    Q
    I sprayed Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate and unexpectedly it rained 4 hours later. Is the spray still effective or should I spray again?

    It is best to apply Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate about 24 hours before you are expecting any rain.  If it rained heavily following only 4 hours after application, you may need to reapply for best results.

    Q
    Can you power spray the Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate off the next day?
    I made a mistake and sprayed this on my milkweed. I sprayed for 2 days straight with my sprayer on full power to wash off the poison. 3 days later I found monarch caterpillar eggs all over. If they eat the leaves will they die or will the constant spray take are of it? All of my praying mantis died from this poison so I'm worried. Is it systematic?
    A

    Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate is not a systemic and is not absorbed by plants.  It does have a slight residual on leaves but if it was washed off may not effect them.  If they do injest enough of the residual product they could be harmed though.
