Monterey - Florel Plant Growth Regulator - Fruit Tree Spray - Florel Fruit Eliminator Spray for Trees - Apply Using Sprayer - 1 Quart

DEFINITELY kept the mangoes from over growing. This works. You have to start before the season for it to work

This stuff does work to prevent fruiting of trees but timing is everything! We have four crabapple trees lining our driveway. They are beautiful when they are flowering but then nothing but a mess as the crabapples fall on the driveway and get smashed by tires and shoes and get tracked into the garage and house. I sprayed them last year and must not have timed it right but did notice a slight decrease in the amount of fruit. This year I must have hit it right and so far, no fruit. I am ecstatic. It is important to spray when the trees right after they have flowered. This bottle was enough to spray four crabapple trees but I only spray the branches that hang over the driveway and not the entire tree, probably about 1/3 to 1/2 of each tree so it probably would be enough to do 2 full trees.

Works OK on my messy carrotwood tree .

First of all, this product actually works and second it is easy to use; it is colorless (like water) and odorless. Now for the details - I live in Arizona and I used this on our Olive tree. I decided to try this spray based on the description and of course the reviews. The most important thing to keep in mind is timing of when to use this is very important. For Olive, you want to use this as soon as the flowers start blooming or opening. So you need to keep an eye on the flowers on your tree to make sure you don't do it too soon and not too late. I know this because when I sprayed the product, most of the flowers on my Olive just opened but there was a small portion on one of the branches that had not opened yet. All the flowers that were opened that got sprayed did not form to become a fruit but the ones that were not open yet did become fruits. As always when you apply/spray something with chemicals, make sure you wear the proper protection - eyes and other parts of your body. I also covered all of my bushes like lantanas that were below the tree and removed the cover after I was done spraying. With the 32 oz. I have more than enough left to do another spray the next season. Lastly, make sure you use a good sprayer. I Googled for the best sprayer and found the highest rated one on Amazon.

We've had serious issues with mistletoe in our scrub oaks. This is a fungus that burrows through bark to get at a tree's nutrients. It's insidious, very hard to get rid of, and a definite stressor although rarely fatal to trees. Two years ago we had to get a lawn service to scale the trees and rip it out by hand. It was back the next year. Then we found this stuff. While the trees were dormant in February, I sprayed the evergreen mistletoe wherever I could reach it. This spring, the mistletoe was virtually wiped out with no obvious damage to the trees who've never looked better. I'm getting some more for this winter...

I followed the directions however my trees have more fruit this year than last. I sprayed 3 trees all of them are loaded more than the 2 I did not spray. We are beginning to think it was a fruit booster.

I sprayed a large pear tree (that produces bad-tasting pears) last spring. This fall, instead of gathering up 500+ pears off the ground there were maybe 75. So, it wasn't 100% - but it really simplified this fall's cleanup. However, the second year we were out of town and came back and sprayed right near the end of the blossoming time - didn't do a thing this year (perhaps made it worse). Who has a good way of knowing just when to spray it on?

Last year I sprayed our crabapple once after the flowers had been out for a while. We had the worst crop (and mess) ever. This year I sprayed when the flowers first appeared, and then sprayed again a few days later. I won't know until later, but the amount of debris that has fallen indicates I may have gotten them. My son spent many hours cleaning up last year (and me every year before). The neighbor planted the tree (long since passed away) and the current owners don't clean up the apples on their side. Aside from the apples, it is a beautiful tree. The leaves appear to be unaffected by the spray. It is nice as it has no odor. I will try to report back on how it actually turns out later this summer.
