Peach tree, organic spray for pest control #924794
Asked February 19, 2026, 12:38 PM EST
Good afternoon -
I planted a Red Haven semi-dwarf tree last May in my yard. It was @ 4' tall and it actually produced 15 peaches we could eat last late summer.
Can you advise me on a safe, yet effective pest control product? I do like to make my own concoctions since I don't want to spend a lot of money on a product
where I could make it myself. All advice about application and timing would be very appreciated.
Thanks much,
Sara

Read the section on Chemical Controls on page(s) 19 – 26
Look at the Stone Fruits (Peach, Plum, Cherry) Spray Guide on page 29
LOTS OF GREAT INFORMATION IN THIS BULLETIN!
