Can I spray this on trees with fruit that I want to eat?

I used on my tomatoes plant and some other vegetables. Go to www.planetnatural.com/product/monterey-garden-insect-spray-spinosad and you will find the product label with an intensive information, it is almost at the end of the page in a PDF format.

Never tried it, but I just re-applied to my fruit trees' new growth. This morning I found some of the leaves and new shoots with the dried liquid on it nibbled!! Darn, the deer here no longer mind it.

I don't know if it can be used on fruit or nut trees. I would suggest going to the Bayer web site for that question.

It didn't work!! I even tried spraying it on the ground, which worked a little bit better then spraying it on the trees themselves. I suspect that what's needed is the 'professional' sprays which aren't available for home use.

I use it on my loquat tree at 1 TBL per gallon and it has been working fine for many years. I don't spray after fruit forms except a little on the trunk if we have been raining excessively and it starts looking a little green. I don't spray the leaves or fruit while fruit is present.

No. I'm not sure how it would be intended to work on other fruits. I have used it exactly once on a mango and it did a poor job and kind of bent in the process, so it is retired to a junk drawer in the kitchen until I get around to tossing it into a Goodwill box.

Sorry No I've only used it with apples and pears. I don't see why it wouldn't work with other fruits as well. good luck..

I don't think this is something that can be applied to plants etc., that produce fruit or vegetables, I certainly wouldn't use it for that. I think you could call the company that produces Deer Stopper ask. Everyone in our area that wants to have things that produce fruits or vegetables puts them in a little area surrounded by tall fencing to keep the deer out. Good Luck

I think if your water pressure is decent you should not have a problem. We have a well and spray our fruit trees all the time It's a reliable sprayer.

I did not try it in hot conditions so I do not know the answer right now. i have actually some bugs on my plum trees and wanted to use it this weekend to treat my trees. We are scheduled for 100 deg weather here so you made me nervous about it! Where did you get a hold of that info? It might be correct....

absolutely. It is useful for spraying on fruit trees while still in their dormant stage. You must cover the entire tree including the trunk to kill the eggs of insects and it will also help in reducing fungus to some extent. You should not use this spray once the buds have opened.

That would depend on the height of the trees. The hand sprayer (at least on mine) would spray a 12-16 foot tree on a still day based on my height (more using s ladder). Definitely would need a respirator though.

That depend on your purpose. I have used it on & around plants with good success. What I'm becoming concerned about is it's use around vegetable and fruit plants. I suspect some of the poison is getting into the plant and I'm not sure I want to be eating it if it gets into the fruit/veggies. If it's just ornamental plants, I don't think you'll have any problems and it should work pretty well.

I would not use this product on anything the bears fruit or nuts you plan to eat. The tree absorbs the chemicals to keep bugs from eating it to nothing. It is a fertilizer but it also contains chemicals you should not be consuming. I am pretty sure the product label is only for plants you do not eat any produce from.

If you didn't spray the fruit, you should be fine at any time. If you got it on the fruit, I would just rinse thoroughly. There isn't anything toxic, just smelly.

I would think yes you can. I bought it to spray paper flowers to make the holly leaves shiny. Take a scrap piece and try it. jaybeeboc

Yes, as long as the hose and nozzle will reach the tree or trees you are intending to spray.
