Dormant Spray


If you have roses, fruit trees, or other deciduous plants you should be thinking about applying a dormant spray to these plants. Powdery mildew, rust, scab and other diseases never go away completely. They go hiding in the cracks and crevices of the bark and branches, lying dormant until spring, when the warm weather causes the diseases become active again.

Dormant Sprays

Q:I want to ask about my redbud & earwigs. The redbud bark is very loose in its entirety. I pulled a piece of bark off that was all but hanging by a thread & an earwig appeared resting there. I then pulled off a piece of bark near where the trunk splits into 3 main shoots & earwigs fell out, ran away & seemed to bore deeper into the tree.
