Any of the following tree sprays natural and organic fruit will work: A lime sulfur mixture of horticultural oil, horticultural oil / water mixture, and a homemade spray made from natural ingredients.

Organic Aerosols fruit trees

The first type of organic fruit tree spray, lime sulfur mixture of horticultural oil, sometimes it can be bought ready-mixed but you can also buy a kit and mix the two. Lime sulfur is a fungicide that kills the bacteria, fungal spores or dormant. Horticultural oil drowns all wintering insects and / or eggs.

This spray combination should be used in early spring before the buds swell and burst, otherwise the risk of burning the new sheet. Also can be sprayed only if the temperature stays between 0 degrees Celsius (32 F) and 20 degrees Celsius (about 70 ° F) during at least 24 hours because the oil spraying needs time to smother the insects or their eggs. A cold night decomposes the oil before it has a chance to be effective. However, if it happens to freeze after 24 hours, no harm done.

Spray when there is little or no wind and no rain, snow or sleet prognosis. Read the instructions carefully and cover because it can be a dirty job when you spray your tree from top to bottom until it leaks. In addition, Lime sulfur has a strong smell, so wear clothes can be washed.
