What does "petal fall" mean pertaining to using Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate

Does petal fall mean the blooms have fallen from the tree and you can spray the tree at this time?

Answer:

Petal fall is last stage of flower development, when the petals have fallen from 90% of the trees blossom.  You can apply Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate from the fall through the spring. It can be applied any time from the dormant stage, when there is no growth, up to the petal fall stage when the last pedals have fallen off. The timing and usage rates would depend what type of tree you are treating, and the stage it is in at the time. In most cases, this product is labled to be used twice a year. However, with a few types of fruits, it can be applied more often.
