Vitax Winter Tree Wash, Removes Insect Debris & Eggs To Reduce Damage To Summer Crops, Suitable For Organic Gardening - 500Ml Makes 10L Of Spray

I was a bit late in the season using this as one or two buds on my apple tree were beginning to break. Very easy to mix up and apply if you have some kind of sprayer, applies well and is easy to get into all the crevices of the bark. I already had some white wooly fungus stuff on the tree, which would suggest aphid larvae, but this removed it all with ease. The tree bark now looks kind of clean and fresh and healthy, so I’m hoping I may actually get some apples this year, rather than curled up leaves alive with aphids and the ants which were farming them. Only time will tell. I also bought some sticky anti-climb strips to stop ants climbing the tree, combined they both seem to be working a treat so far. Update: Now at the end of the season, I’m pleased to report that the tree had much less wooly aphid and leaf curl this year, and has produced its first decent crop of apples. I will use again this winter at the appropriate time and hope that next year produces a much bigger crop.

So far used once... won't know results until next year... recommends to do another winter wash before spring... Easy to mix, white liquid when mixed with water.

Good product.good delivery

This product is hard to find in shops so delighted to find it very good product

I was concerned that the bottle had residue/crystals in the bottom of the bottle which would not dissolve on shaking. (The bottles for sale in the garden centre near me, has no residue in them). I contacted the seller who contacted the supplier and was told it was safe to use. I have done so, albeit reluctantly, and have to say the pear trees look OK and have had flowers and are setting fruit now, so I suppose it was OK to use. There is no sign of disease, which is the whole purpose of the action really. I could not find a use by date on the bottle. Take a risk!

I've a couple of pear trees that have had a problem of a mite inside the leaves, confirmation I had from RHS that although not damaging to the tree it's very difficult to treat. They recommended that this product applied autumn and prior to spring budding could help, it's done exactly that. For every season I've used this I've had no sign of the little bug, it has also helped reduce the aphid population in my garden. I also use it on some honeysuckle which has been far more resilient to aphids, it's easy to apply by hand sprayer to completely drench the plant.

I’ve bought and used this product before. Seems quite effective and easy to use in sprayer.
