Q&A - Is it too late to treat fire blight in July?
Question:
Is it too late to treat for fire blight in July? If not, what can I use?
Answer:
In July, it is too late to use an antibiotic to control fire blight. That needs to be applied during bloom. If there is not fruit present or it is an ornamental tree and the fruit will not be eaten, fixed copper products like Koside might give you some help.
