I have a dying blood orange tree, I have done everything I can think of to help it. But it seems to just be drying out one branch at a time. This is not the first one we have lost this way. I got Desperate and thought it might be bugs so I purchased some Bayer systemic bug killer. I doubt I will get any fruit, only 1 orange survived last year. If I do, is it unsafe to eat? Any other suggestions on what I can do? I didn't realize there was a fruit Bayer does it also kill bugs? Thank you
Bayer Advanced Fruit, Citrus and Vegetable Insect Control is listed for some orange varieties. It does not specificially label blood oranges. We recommend that you consult with your local cooperative extension Master Gardener or local arborist for assistance on a dying tree. They can help determine if insects and/or diseases are causing it to die. If they recommend a product, please let us know and we can help you locate a product. We are happy to help!
