I have been looking for a fruit tree spray too. I have a baby Jonathan apple tree. In the past used Ferti-lome fruit tree spray. I wrote to Ferti-lome and they said they renamed it Triple Action Plus. Now it controls mites too. He said that I don't have to buy a separate dormant oil spray. I even tried writing to the University of Missouri extension office to get their advice on products & disease for my region. I guess he is just too busy to even write back. According to the University extension web site I need to buy something for Fire Blight too.

Does anyone hate Green Light or Ferti-lome FTS?

Where are you in Missouri? MU has an orchard near New Franklin where I assume they do research on apples and other stuff like chestnuts. They let charitable organizations pick the apples free for distribution to food banks and such. Pickers are allowed to pick some for themselves after they fill a quota, and a friend of mine got some beautiful Jonathans and Golden Delicious. Perfect fruit which had obviously been protected. I got an e-mail address for that place and received a quick reply to a question about CAR, but it has been long enough that I don't have it anymore. I don't know how bad fire blight is in my area near Columbia. I don't recall the specific answer to my CAR question, but I think one of the controls suggested was the active ingredient in Immunox. Try looking up MU New Franklin orchard to see if you can find an e-mail address.

Just read the "Peach diseases preventing" topic

Chuck, I'm down on Hwy 70, drive east until you see the big Arch. I'm in one of those little cities in the county, not the city thank you. I wrote to Nathan Brandt. His office is in Clayton. If I didn't have to pay to parking, I would stop by the office. I'll give him a break and resend the e-mail. He could be on vacation. Maybe the guy who handles St. Charles County would write back to me if I can't get an answer in a few weeks from Nathan. Anyway, I'll start the hunt for the Ferti-lome triple action. It worked in the past without a problem until straight line winds brought down the dwarf Jonathan apple tree. I'll hold off on buy the fire blight spray until I can get an answer from the University.

Well, Nathan wrote back today. The biggest problem for my apple tree will be codling moth larvae he says. He sent me an attachment for the the other little things to treat for. Now the hunt to the chemicals listed on the attachment for my apple tree.

Does anyone know if this can be used on African Violets?
