We recommend liquid copper as it contains micro-fine copper particles with the latest technology which helps the product stick to the plant better. This makes the spray far more effective. Trees need to be sprayed 3 or 4 times over a 5 to 6 week period for the best chance of preventing curly leaf. • First spray - at bud swell - the buds fatten and are almost open (you might just see the first colour appear). • Second spray - Bud burst - when the buds have burst and flowers are present. • Third spray - 1 - 2 weeks after flowering has finished. • Possible 4th spray - if weather has been particularly wet. .
