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

Hello Sara,

I recommend that you refer to the Purdue University Extension - Managing Pests in Home Fruit Plantings at this link:

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!
