Summer Home Orchard Care
 

Mike Dennison talks about controlling insects and fungus diseases on fruit trees. On peaches, plums and nectarines there are two things to watch out for: The plum curculio insect and the brown rot fungus. Apples and pears have several different fungal diseases too but do not need as intense of treatments peaches, plums and nectarines. Mike talks about using a regular insecticide and fungicide spray schedule to protect fruit from these diseases. He also briefly talks about other fruits.
