| Hi all, after being away for Thanksgiving and then have rain, I missed my first spray of Copper on my peaches. It is going to warm up a bit this weekend in New England. Can I still spray? There is no rain predicted for the weekend. (also we have had a great deal of wind); not ideal for spraying, thanks, Mrs. G |

| If your bacterial spot, canker and curl were low this year the fall spray can be skipped. I have not used fall copper for the last two years. I always do a spring copper at bud swell. If you did have issues this year I would hit things this weekend. Make sure to include lots of sticker so the copper stays on through rains. Scott |

| Mrs. G, A few peach and plum trees dropped leaves very late this year in addtion to frequent wet, windy or freezing weather. So, I just sprayed Kocide this past Sunday, 3 days ago. At the time, snow was on the ground but the temp was about 31-32 F. I don't like going out spraying when temp is under 30 F. I'm a wimp. I use NuFilm 17 this year. It may appear far more expensive than Bonide Turbo. If compared by volume, I think it's a lot cheaper. The liquid is thicker. I hope it helps the copper stick better and longer than the Bonide sticker. |
