The fruit trees will take longer to bear quantities. Try to remember next year to spray them in Feb with a dormant oil spray. It will kill any insects/diseases that have overwintered in teh bark. Then follow up with a good fruit tree spray, starting when the buds swell. You’ll have to do it about once a week/every ten days.

I’m assuming here—since your climate is so similiar to here. :)

I will be getting back to you later on the sprays you mention. You have been so helpful. What ever small amount of fruit is produced this year will still be amazing to me.
