  • Great videos! Where did you purchase your snap on tree guards? Those are nice and we'd like to purchase the same for our new orchard trees. :)

  • @kastnmagic Thanks! Those tree guards are a favorite. They can be purchased from grow organic dot com. Search "tree guard" and it should be the first hit.

  • Is using the fungiside considered non-organic? Having to wear a gas mask makes me think... I probably don't want this on my tree either. Can't we simply put a more natural mixture for warding off fungus. As far as oiling... I have heard that olive oil is a natural to spray on the tree to ward off bugs. If anyone has a natural remedy for warding off fungus on fruit trees... please comment. Thank you.

  • @carolLDickinson Thank you for your concern and desire to use natural tree care. As far as the protective equipment, just because a product is naturally derived does not mean it isn't an irritant to people. For example Hot Pepper Wax is a great natural solution to certain insect problems but that natural capsaicin (what makes peppers hot) is a skin and eye irritant. If you are interested in natural fungicides check out those that are OMRI listed.

  • Jerry, Thanks for the suggestion!

  • Thank you, Patricia. But, uh, that was easy. My peach tree keeps getting bigger. Next year please show us how to spray a full-grown peach tree.

    Thanks,
