I'm sure some of you guys on here are noticing Japanese beetles devouring your apple trees. I used to spray Sevin on ours about twice a month and it worked, but it'd rain and need reapplied. Then I learned Sevin is tough on bees so switched to something more bee friendly but it still need reapplied, which is ok for the trees in my yard but I can't do that for the trees I've planted for wildlife.
Anyone ever use any root applied insecticide for keeping Japanese beetles off apple trees? I'd really like to find something I could use and still be able to eat the fruit. I've just began my google internet search and thought I'd throw a post up here as well. I've found some options, they seem spendy, and am not sure yet if the fruit is safe for eating yet?
