Is this safe to use near fruit trees, so the fruit will still be safe to eat?

They are granules that you would sprinkle at the base of the fruit trees so it would not affect the fruit at all.

I would not use it around the fruit trees. I am really into organic growing in anything I put in my mouth.

I also have a persimmon tree (see other review) and have continued to have healthy fruit while using this product.

DonnaThe directions on the container indicate that it is not advisable to put this on anything edible (for humans.) We use it to protect flowers and I spray it on our fruit trees before they blossom to keep the deer from eating the branches. We live in Northern Maine so I'm not sure we would have the same results as Washington State. Other than that the product works very well as far as we are concerned.

Absolutely. It's rated as food safe. After having used it for two years, I'm fairly confident that it's safe for my garden.

I believe this only works within enclosed areas. Directions state that even banana's should be kept in a bag with the absorber although I haven't tried it within a fruit bowl personally.

My nephew is the one who received this. He used it for pears. He recommended another use it for grapefruit. I would think that peaches woukd be fine.

I'm sorry, but I never use it for fruit. I only do jerky for my dog. Try the internet and see what they recommend. Wish I could have been more helpful!

The label says for use on non-fruit/nut bearing trees, shrubs and plants, so sounds like it would be okay. Here is a .pdf of the entire label, so you can read it. http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/msds/original_12-Month-Tree-Shrub-Protect-Feed-II-32oz.pdf

sure, it is pretty safe, you can use it near food as well. I used it inside my house. it smells orange afterward. Ants never come back from the same spot.

Good to know. Thank you. My concern was pulling down too hard, and possibly pulling the fruit basket down & breaking whatever container you where draining the juice into. Thanks again.

Yes, it is but I take a Q-tip and pass pollen between all the flowers on the one tree. I now have 5 fruit and they look very healthy. My tree is about 7' tall and it took a year for it to fruit. I keep it inside during the winter but move it outside during the day. I live in PHX. It needs lots of sun, water and warmth. Make sure soil is not soggy - it will rot.

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.

Use of herbicides on or near food plants/trees/etc should be done with caution. I'd check with your local farm extension office to see if this is systemic (taken up into the plant) or not. If systemic, it'll go into the fruit.

I seriously doubt it. You have to poke the fruit to hold it in place on one end and I would think that would make a mess you would not want to clean up.

It's very safe for tomato and other plants. Unlike fertilizers, it will not "burn" or kill then plant when used as instructed.

I take my produce out if the bags when I get home. Leafs do fine in the crisper unprotected as long as it isn't too cold and the leaves are dry.

Yes, it is safe, just make sure it is not around food and people do not have contact with it.
