I’ve always had trouble with curly leaf even though I spray. Any advice to make this year curly leaf free? I’ve just sprayed fruit trees yesterday, using a mix of 5 ml /litre . I’m in Christchurch

Is it possible to get a ready mixed good to go product? I don't want to store unused chemicals in my shed.

I have said this before, the best time to spray is right as the leaf buds begin to just open. When they are close to bursting I spray, again when at green tip and once more 3 or 4 days later just to cover all the bases, with copper and believe it or not I do not get a single infected leaf. Green tip is the most important spray and do not forget to spray the ground.

I'm a good girl. I ordered mine. Now to dig out a spray bottle for my one and only baby peach tree.
Just in case festooning the tree (as I did in autumn) with fresh seaweed doesn't work.

Hi, I have a question, as I usually spray mine with the copper spray. What I'm finding is I have many birds that are on my fruit trees, is the copper spray safe for the birds?, as they tend to peck the branches for bugs.
