Product Information

Full details

Growing Success Winter Tree Wash is an ideal solution for organic gardeners and orchard hobbyists looking to protect their fruit trees, bushes, and vines from pest infestations. By targeting overwintering insects, bugs, and their eggs during the dormant season, it provides a clean slate for spring growth and healthier fruit production; however, it must be applied specifically during the winter months when the plant is dormant to avoid damaging sensitive foliage.

FAQs

When is the best time to apply Winter Tree Wash?

Apply only during the dormant period, typically between November and February, when trees and shrubs are leafless.

Can I use this on all fruit trees?

It is suitable for most fruit trees, bushes, and vines, but always check the label for specific plant exceptions.

Is this product safe for bees?

Since it is applied during the winter when bees are not active, it is much safer than treatments applied during the spring or summer.

How often should I apply it?

A single thorough application during the dormant season is usually sufficient to control overwintering pest populations.

Can I apply this if it is raining?

No, you should wait for a dry, calm day to ensure the solution stays on the bark long enough to work effectively.

Troubleshooting

The sprayer nozzle is clogging during application.

Ensure the concentrate is fully mixed with water and check that your sprayer filter is clean; if using hard water, ensure it is not reacting with the product.

I accidentally sprayed a plant that still has leaves.

Immediately rinse the foliage with clean water to dilute the product, though some minor leaf damage may still occur.

Pests are still appearing in the spring.

Winter tree wash is a preventative measure for overwintering pests; if an infestation occurs later, consider using secondary organic control methods.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Safe for use in organic gardening environments
  • Effectively reduces early-season pest pressure
  • Simple to prepare and apply with standard sprayers
  • Covers a wide range of fruit trees and woody shrubs

Cons

  • Only effective when applied during the dormant season
  • Can cause leaf scorch if applied to active, green foliage
  • Requires thorough coverage to reach deep into bark crevices

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the product, dilute the concentrate with water in your garden sprayer as specified on the packaging. Always shake the mixture before starting your application. Compatibility is high with most standard garden sprayers, but ensure the nozzle is set to a medium spray pattern for even distribution. Care should be taken to wear protective gloves and eyewear during application, as with any garden treatment. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep out of the reach of children and pets. Do not apply when frost is expected or if the trees are currently showing buds or leaf growth.
