Yea I thought the same when researching deeper. In a wildlife orchard setting would this be easier though? I'm not thrilled about eating a deer that eats the apples that I shouldn't eat myself lol Realistically food plots/crops that are treated probably aren't great for the deer either. Seems...

Anyone ever use or have any knowledge about systemic root drenches? My thoughts on it are that if I could apply to my soil rather then having to spray constantly that would be a win in my opinion. I've seen a few pesticides and fungicides that can be applied to the roots instead of foliar.

Same thing happened to my apples this year, they looked amazing because of all the spring rain and then they all rotted..

Thanks for the info! I don't like spraying chemicals at all if possible. I bought a tyvek suit and a mask for the few times I've had to spray my trees. I used to be a powder coat painter for about 10 years so I'm sure my lungs could use the extra protection lol

Ok, so I have been searching the internet for spray solutions for my apple trees, and to be honest its incredibly overwhelming lol So I figured making this post would help some others also.

Thanks for all the info guys! Here is some info on my property and what I have done with it thus far and plan to do with it. Ok so my place is 80 acres of 6 year old pines, I have owned the property for 5 years and I built my house 4 years ago during Covid *yikes*.... This is the first sizeable...

Thanks, I appreciate the help!

I will check that out! Thanks

Thanks for the reply, I have a few 4-5 year old kieffer's that I'm waiting for the first fruit on. Its good to know that they may hang into November! I have had 3 bad drought years in a row, so its been a battle trying to keep all my trees headed in the right direction. Appreciate the Info!
