Maintaining fruit trees can be a difficult job as it’s not always clear how best to treat them. For example, there is an abundance of informational content when it comes to spraying trees with apple tree spray or mugwort and garlic sprays but less information on how to make homemade fruit tree spray with soap. When I realized that this is the case, I decided to figure out how to make homemade fruit tree spray. The true key to locating quality information about homemade fruit spray was to find simple and effective remedies for use on fruit trees. If you own any fruit trees, you know how much work they can be throughout the growing season. Organic apple tree care can prove to be even more challenging than traditional apple tree care, but it can also help your trees grow bigger and healthier. That being said, organic fruit tree spray is important if you want your fruit to taste good and remain free of pests. Fruit trees are not able to use chemicals because the chemicals are often toxic and will do more damage than good.

Non Toxic Insecticide For Apple Trees

Introduction

Non-toxic insecticides for apple trees are a great way to protect your tree without harming the environment. These natural insecticides can kill insects and keep them away, so you don’t have to use chemical pesticides that are harmful to the soil and water system.

Prune tree in winter before first bloom.

If you live in an area where winter weather does not allow for pruning during the dormant period, consider doing it during late fall. The reason to prune in winter is that this gives the tree time to recover before its first bloom cycle, which is usually May or June.

If you are going to do ANY kind of pruning on your apple trees, then be sure to keep them trimmed back so they have room to grow and thrive! If left unpruned for too long, trees can become overgrown with dead branches and become tangled in their own branches (this makes picking produce extremely difficult).

Spray with soapy water to kill eggs and sap sucking insects.

Spraying soapy water on apple trees is one of the safest and most effective methods for killing sap sucking insects. The soap breaks down the wax covering of the aphids, which makes it easier for the water to penetrate their bodies and kill them. Soap also helps break down surface tension in water, making that liquid more effective at penetrating plant tissue. This technique will work on many different bugs, such as mites and spider mites.

You can use any kind of dishwashing liquid or other type of natural laundry detergent with this method as well as generic brands like Castile or Ivory liquid soaps.

Spray trees with dormant oil to smother overwintering insect eggs and larvae.

If you have apple trees, apply dormant oil to the trunks and branches. This type of oil is safe for plants and will smother overwintering insects, including eggs, larvae and pupae. Dormant oil can be found at most hardware stores. Apply it early in the season (around February) after pruning your tree but before buds break on new growth. Use a sprayer that has an adjustable nozzle so you can get even coverage on all parts of the trunk (spray both sides).

Apply kaolin clay during the fruit growing season to repel insects.

Kaolin clay is a natural insect repellent that can help you keep apple trees pest and disease free without having to use harmful chemicals. Kaolin clay is a non-toxic pest control product that roaches, ants, spiders and other insects don’t like. It’s safe for humans and animals, so it’s a good choice if you have children or pets in your home.

Kaolin clay is made from kaolinite minerals found in the earth’s crust, which are then ground up into small particles known as fine clay mineral powder. Because it is made up of minerals already present in nature—and not synthetic chemicals—kaolin clay has been used for centuries by people around the world to repel pests from their property while being completely safe for use around children or pets!

Plant garlic bulbs around the base of the tree for a natural insect repellent.

Garlic bulbs are a natural insect repellent, and they can be planted around the base of your trees to keep pests away. Garlic is easy to plant, and it will grow throughout the year. Plant garlic bulbs in pots or in the ground, as long as you’re sure they’ll get plenty of water once they’ve been planted.

The best time to plant garlic bulbs is right before winter sets in (fall), but planting them during early spring will also work well enough if you make sure that frost isn’t an issue where you live.

Natural insecticides are better for the environment than chemical insecticides

Natural insecticides are better for the environment than chemical insecticides. Natural insecticides are safer for people and pets, and can be cheaper than chemical insecticides. Furthermore, natural insecticides have a lower risk of resistance compared to chemical ones.

Natural pesticides include: neem oil, pyrethrum or pyrethrins (derived from chrysanthemum flowers), rotenone (a naturally occurring compound found in several plants), sulfur and copper hydroxide among others.

Conclusion

In conclusion, using these all-natural insecticides will keep your apple tree pest free without harming the environment or exposing you and your family to harmful chemicals.
