I'm along the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. The USDA map shows us as 7a but I think we're actually 7b. We have a lot of humidity and a lot of disease and insect pressure here, compounded by the fact that all the surrounding properties have old apple trees that are not sprayed or tended by the landowners. Curculio pressure is very heavy. Malathion and Sevin have no effect on them here. I looked into Surround, but found it to be prohibitively (in fact, outrageously) expensive.
