FAQs

When is the best time to apply Vitax Winter Tree Wash?

The ideal time for application is during the dormant period, from November to February, on a calm, dry day.

How often should I apply the tree wash?

A single application is often sufficient, but a second application may be needed if pests are particularly persistent or conditions are not ideal during the first application.

Can I use this product on my vegetable plants?

This product is primarily designed for use on fruit trees and bushes, and vines under glass. For specific vegetables, check for compatibility on the product label.

Is Vitax Winter Tree Wash safe for bees and other beneficial insects?

Since it is applied during the dormant season, when these insects are less active, the risk of harm is reduced. However, avoid spraying during periods when beneficial insects might be active.

How should I store the product?

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and out of reach of children and pets.

What should I do if it rains after application?

If rain occurs shortly after application, you may need to reapply the wash once the foliage is dry, ensuring the tree surfaces are covered again.

Troubleshooting

Spray nozzle clogs during application.

Rinse the sprayer nozzle with clean water and ensure the product is properly mixed before reapplication.

Pests reappear after application.

Reapply the spray, ensuring thorough coverage of all plant surfaces, and consider a second application if necessary. This could be a sign of incomplete initial coverage.

Product appears to separate in the container.

Shake the container well before mixing to ensure the ingredients are properly combined.
