Spraying Cherries and Plums Boosts Yields Says Nebraska College
The Nebraska College of Agriculture advises spraying cherries and plums as soon as shucks or blossoms fall and again before ripening. A mature cherry tree may yield two to three bushels with care, while a neglected tree yields far less. Plums should produce at least two bushels, though insects can ruin the crop. A lime sulfur and arsenate of lead mix is recommended, using 24% to 3 pounds arsenate of lead or 1% to 1 1/4 pounds arsenate of lead powder per 50 gallons. Do not use on European or Japanese plums or peaches.
