Dormant Season Spraying

December—February

To reduce the need for pesticides during spring and summer, a winter application of oil and copper kills potentially deadly fungus spores and destructive insect populations, such as scale.

  • This treatment is especially important for fruit trees
  • Highly recommended as a preventive treatment for ornamentals such as Japenese maples, crape myrtles, roses and many ornamental trees.
  • Dormant sprays can help reduce the amount of spraying needed later in the year.


Winter spraying helps to reduce pesticide use during the months you like to spend outside.
