Trying to be efficient I sprayed my fruit trees yesterday morning with
lime sulphur at around 11am. By 2pm it ahd started drizzling and then it
really rained and then it snowed.
How long does sulphur need to stay on the tree to be effective? Will I
need to respray everything?
Of course today is going to beautiful.
Also, I bought some new sulphur and it said not to use it on apricots.
Is this true? It was not mentioned on my last bottle of sulphur. How
then should I protect my apricot from Brown rot present on other prunus
in the orchard? Or is apricot considerably less susceptible?
