Product Information

Full details

This fruit tree grease from Gardening Naturally is designed for home gardeners seeking to protect their fruit trees from crawling insects and winter moths. Its key benefit is creating a physical barrier to prevent pests from climbing and infesting trees, potentially leading to a healthier harvest. A potential caveat is the need for timely application in Autumn and potential reapplication if the band loses stickiness.

FAQs

When is the best time to apply the fruit tree grease?

The most effective time to apply the grease is in Autumn, before winter sets in, to protect trees throughout the colder months and into Spring.

How wide should the grease band be?

The grease band should be approximately 10cm wide to ensure it creates an effective barrier.

Can I use this on any type of fruit tree?

Yes, this fruit tree grease is suitable for use on all types of fruit trees, including those in pots and those planted directly in the ground.

How much grease is in one container?

Each container holds 200g of fruit tree grease.

What should I do if the grease band loses its stickiness?

If the band loses its stickiness, it is recommended to reapply the grease to ensure continuous protection.

How should I store the fruit tree grease?

Store the grease in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, and at temperatures between 15°C and 40°C.

Does this product harm beneficial insects?

The product is designed as a physical barrier to prevent pests from climbing. While direct contact should be avoided, it does not contain chemical insecticides.

Troubleshooting

Grease band is not sticky

Reapply a fresh layer of grease to restore the sticky barrier. Ensure storage conditions are optimal to maintain product quality.

Pests are still reaching the tree

Ensure the grease band is continuous and at least 10cm wide. Check for any gaps or areas where pests might bypass the barrier. Reapply if necessary.

Grease appears to be drying out quickly

This can happen in very hot or dry conditions. Ensure the band is of adequate width and consider a second application if protection seems compromised.

Difficulty applying grease evenly

Use a stiff brush or palette knife to spread the grease. Warming the grease slightly in its container (not direct heat) can sometimes make it more pliable.
