Spraying pears and cherries

Posted on May 5, 2003

Question:
Hi Chuck,
Can you tell me when is the right time to spray pear trees and cherry trees for bugs and what should I use? Also, should I fertilize them too?
Thanks,
Nancy

Answer:
Use Fertilome fruit tree spray after flower petals drop every 10 - 14 days until the listed days to harvest ( in parenthesis on the bottle). This is a great way to keep fungus and insects off the fruit and foliage. Good luck, Chuck.
