Apple Trees - winter wash

10-10-20 · 2007-11-22 12:02:14

Hi guys - what is a recommended product for doing a winter wash on an eating apple tree which is affected by apple scab? I know it used to be tar oil but that's banned now. Is the best time to do the wash around new-years?

Many gardeners are now using a Jeyes fluid solution as a winter wash.

Should be ok as long as the conditions are not freezing .
Ensure you carry out you winter wash before bud burst at the latest....... but with our recent mild winters, bud burst could be tomorrow!
