Nothing is more frustrating than nurturing your fruit trees all season, only to have disease or fungus ruin your harvest. The truth is, by the time you see signs of trouble—like leaf spots, fruit rot, or mildew—it’s often too late to stop the damage. That’s why preventative spraying is the best (and sometimes the only) way to keep your trees healthy and productive. Follow the instructions below to protect your trees from common threats, so you can get a bountiful harvest year after year.

1st Application – Feb 15th-25th

• Mix Horticulture Oil and Copper Fungicide together (see back label for rate) and heavily spray the entire tree. Spray when above freezing.

2nd Application – March

• When the buds swell and before bud break, mix Copper Fungicide and a Spreader Sticker (or 1 oz. of Horticulture Oil instead of spreader sticker) and spray tree.
• Continue spraying every 5-7 days for 3 weeks after bud break.

During the season:

• For insect control use Triple Action (see label for frequency). 
• If you notice fungus, alternate 2 different types of fungicide to prevent resistance. We recommend Copper Fungicide and Triple Action.
