Bonide Fruit Tree & Plant Guard, 16 oz Concentrate, Multi-Purpose Fungicide, Insecticide and Miticide for Home Gardening

I have over a dozen semi-dwarf fruit trees that the Japanese Beetles just LOVE to eat. But when I sprayed this, it kept 99% of them off. At the end of the season, I had very little bug damage on the leaves.

Over the years I have used different sprays for my fruit trees (mainly apple) and I must say that this exact same spray (not the organic) keeps apple maggots and other pests from destroying my apples. It isn’t cheap but it works.

Felt a little better after taking this product.

Third year of using this product. We apply with a 2 gallon tank sprayer it to our fruit trees 3-4 times during the summer and it does a good job. We just follow the directions on the container.

Will not know till fall if it worked or not.

I have never had luck with growing peaches. I would spray with a multipurpose fungicide a few times during the summer, only to have the fruit turn black, shrivel up, and fall off the tree. I don't like to use harsh chemicals, but I decided last year to spray Bonide faithfully on my peach trees and grapes. The 2-week schedule is ABSOLUTELY essential for success. For the first time ever, I had a bumper crop of sweet, delicious peaches. The grapes turned out great also. I'm not saying that other fungicides would not do the job if I had followed the "every 2 weeks" schedule, but, using Bonide proved to be a winner.

I used this product for my peach, apple and plum trees as well as grapes in my backyard garden. I started the trees five yours ago, the grapes were already well established. So far, I never got any fruits because of mold that killed all the fruits in humid Kentucky summers. In addition, blackspot almost killed one of the young apple trees. I tried 'organic' oil based sprays, as well as copper fungicides, and strong pruning as the point of my backyard garden is to be as chemical free as possible. However, none of thees approaches really worked. So I finally got the spray this spring and actually applied it a bit too late, way after the blossoming. The effects were day and night, and I got my first 'bumper-crops'. The photos show peaches after 4x spraying, about four weeks after the last treatment. About 1/3 of the peach harvest is in a box and some of the peaches are still on the tree.I never applied these fungicides before to trees, and it took me some time to figure out the best spraying system, which is attaching a sprayer to the garden hose Chapin G362 Professional All Purpose Hose End Sprayer with Metering Dial For Fertilizer, Herbicides and Garden Pesticides. which allows you to soak the tree. One note of caution: the stuff has a shelf life, a bottle was shipped with the little trees five years ago and was stored in the garage. It turned into some watery consistency and smelled worse than the original, so the expiration date is likely for real.

A little disappointed this arrived with the lid missing. Not sure how I’ll store what I don’t use but luckily the foil wasn’t punctured so I’ll still be able to use it.
