Can this be used on fire blight bacterial infection of Asian Pear trees"

I don't have any pear trees so I can't answer your question. I do have some experience using this product on various shrubs on my property. It does work but very slowly so does not yield overnight results.

I have an Asian Pear tree (20th Century variety) and have used this product on it during the dormant months. I haven't had to battle fire blight, but the tree hasn't shown any ill effects of the spray.

I am not familiar with Asian Pear trees only pear trees I grow are engineered by the University of Florida. I do know that a copper based product can harm a plant more than cure their aliment. This may result in curing the blight but, killing the patient. Peach trees are a good example: copper based products are harmful to them. Only under certain condition can and should they be used.

I have been using this product on trees and shrubs in my yard for the past 8 years on maple, ash, and rose bushes. It has effectively controlled the emerald ash borer on the ash, and scale on the rose bushes and the maples. The borer has been killing ash trees in our area for years and this product so far has protected the ash trees well.

Not sure. Directions don't say but probably more effective sprayed or dusted directly on diseased shrub etc.

Not sure about Bamboo but it can be used on bushes and plants. Its used around the outside of houses as a barrier. I actually used it on my little fir trees for mites last year and it didnt hurt the trees at all. If you google it you can get the pdf label off the bottle and read it.

I have not, but it works on skin infections really well. Hope you get that thorn out soon.

Never used on a tree, but it did treat my entire perennial garden twice (I have confirmed phytophthora root rot which killed all my rhodedendrons last year). I would recommend a soil soak. The second time I treated, I sprayed the plants and they burned. They are recovering okay but next time I will do the soil soak, if your tree is smaller, I think that a soil spray would be sufficient. So far my weigelas, which would be the most susceptible, look great.

Mela-Fix would help prevent secondary bacterial or fungal infections, but would not help eliminate the parasite infestation you are trying to treat. The Aquari-Sol should be best.

It can but not recommended because it can burn the folage depending on the tree type. You need to be clear what kind of problem you are trying to handle. Contact me at 928-343-2729 and I can help you determine if this is really what you need to be considering. I am a licensed chemical supplier. Thanks, Rick

I read the microbes die off after about 3 months, but the nutrient value remains. Most recommend using within 3 months. I've use some that was a year old that I kept in a tightly sealed plastic bucket, and although it wasn't as good as fresh stuff, it still worked well around my plants. Since you can't burn plants with it, you can reapply it throughout the growing season around your trees, I re-apply around my roses throughout the growing season and it helps with rebloom and root health. I use about a cup each and I go through a 15lb bag quick.

Never tried it, but I just re-applied to my fruit trees' new growth. This morning I found some of the leaves and new shoots with the dried liquid on it nibbled!! Darn, the deer here no longer mind it.

I do not believe so. I believe you'll have to use an agriculture streptomycin product and prune out the infected branches below the infection, sterilizing the pruning too with bleach each time you make the cut. Check with your local extension agent for handling this problem.

I spilled some on my hand and after 5 minutes I noticed a slight burning sensation. The product seems slightly acidic but that property would make it more effective as an anti-bacterial or an anti-fungal.

Hi Dorothy, thanks for the question. I actually purchased this for the treatment of carpenter ants! I had a terrible invasion in a dead Fig tree limb, you should have seen them! Unfortunately I cannot post links here, but if you go to YouTube and search "boric acid kill ants" I'd suggest the videos by CupRockTv as well as gregthegardner. I don't own those videos, but I just did a bit if checking for you and I can recommend them. Let me know if you need anything else and have a fantastic day!-Nic

This is not a bacteria, it is actually a fungus which grows in tropical regions on mangosteen fruit's skin, so it is well adapted to heat.

I have used this on my apple trees early in the morning. This was after flowering, it was in treatment of rust. The neem oil was effective, but a temporary solution. I ended up removing all of the cedar from the property as a more permanent solution. This neem oil is highly effective in controlling garden pests, mold, fungus, etc. We've been extremely impressed!

VWH, Definitely do not use Boracare for treating a live tree. Now there are some products which are labeled as a systemic and for the control of termites. Unfortunately you might find limits on what you can use if the tree is bearing fruit for consumption. Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

For woody stem plants, like Ivy, use Roundup "Tough Brush and Poison Ivy Killer". Works much better!
