most of my deciduous trees have turned red and the leaves have dropped, but some are still green and only beginning to change color. this weekend will drop and remain below 20F for much of next week. I would like to put my trees into their protective shelter for the winter (where there is light, but temperatures remain 1-2 degrees above freezing). before putting them into this shelter, I would like to spray them with lime sulphur.
is it safe to spray trees that still have leaves on them?
i realize i can remove the leaves and then spray, but my hope is that by leaving them on they will continue their fall-process (post-lime sulphur spray) in their protective shelter
maybe @markyscott has the answer? (thank you for the helpful posts on the subject!) or anybody else?
thank you
