Mayhaw Spray Alert!

Cedar-apple rust on mayhaw

Spring is springing early this year. Mayhaw trees are leading the way in early blooms. Early bloom is the time to start spraying for cedar-apple rust especially if you had it in previous years.

The only home-owner product labeled to control this disease is Spectracide Immunox (myclobutanil). This fungicide needs to be sprayed every 7 to 10 days but stopped 14 days before harvest.

Keep a vigilant spray program to prevent this disease of robbing you of that wonderful tasting mayhaw jelly!
