Any advice for protecting fruit trees?
If you're planting out young whips of fruit trees, try coating the whip using a paint brush and a thick solution of Plantskydd (We recommend soluble powder concentrate—follow directions on label). If subject to spring or summer browse, spray trees when the leaves have formed.
Anything in my landscape I should not treat with Plantskydd?
We suggest you test samples of sensitive plants before treating large numbers. If the leaves curl on test plants, rinse with a fine spray of water and dilute Plantskydd further (e.g. 1 pkg to 2-3 gallons water) prior to re-applying. Plantskydd will darken leaves temporarily—they return to their normal color in a couple of days.
For aesthetic reasons, use on very fuzzy leaves like Santolina, Lamb’s Ears and Lavender is not recommended. Fortunately, these plants are usually not preferred by our furry friends.
