Treatment schedule for fruit trees #868161

Asked May 13, 2024, 10:33 AM EDT

Hello, Are you able to provide an easy reference for treatment of apple, peach, and cherry trees? I’m finding lots of information on pests and how to test them but not an easy guide to routine treatments and I’m feeling very overwhelmed. I prefer organic gardening and have purchased kaolin clay spray (surround WP), captain jacks orchard spray (active ingredient sulfur 10.0% & pyrethrins 0.25%) and I also have captain jacks copper fungicide spray (active ingredient copper octanoate 10.0%) as well as basic fertilizer for veggies & fruits. I believe all can be treated with copper fungicide once during dormancy (winter) and the clay spray can be used after flowers drop? I have the following: Elberta peach Tartarian cherry Bing cherry Blushing delight columnar apple Tasty Red columnar apple I’d appreciate any easy to understand directions.
