Question?
I have a 15 year old apple tree, there is a large amount of fruit on the tree. some of the fruit has black spots on them, should i spray the tree with a type of disease control? i live in northern ohio.
thanks bob t

Answer:
A preventative spray program with Fertilome Fruit Tree Spray will help but you need to start early in the spring and continue through the season. Use the spray schedule listed on the bottle for best results. A one time spraying is not going to help.
