Using Refined Horticultural Oils on Fruit Trees

Today's oil sprays are applied to apple, pear, peach, plum, and cherry trees to prevent insect infestations.

"Oil sprays are important but they may not do everything that some home gardeners expect them to do. When applied properly, oil sprays will help control certain insects. Each fruit type will have a critical time for application. The application timing depends on the development stage of the fruit tree and the life cycle of the insect pest. Always read and follow directions listed on the product label to assure personal safety and avoid plant damage." [Last paragraph]
