Do Not Spray Blossoms Fruit Tree Advice
Prof Surface of the Division of Economic Zoology at the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture cautions farmers not to spray fruit tree blossoms. Spray after petals drop, or once more than three quarters have fallen, to avoid damage. Apply within six days after blossoms fall, with a second spray ten days to two weeks later. Prof Harold Lewars will give a pipe organ recital at Second Lutheran Church in Chambersburg on Thursday May 13.
