How to get rid of Japanese beetles & safely spray peach trees for rot?
I have planted a rose garden and didn’t know beetles would rejoice at this free food.I put a pesticide an antifungal for my peach trees as they have brown rot and also would help the roses. However after spraying I found out it kills bees and I don’t want to do this.I know the grubs are the beetles and we have a lot! If I knew this while planting I would have treated the area.Not wanting to kill the good bees is my goaland save my plants too.Peaches have brown rot and mummified 2 years in a row now. I did spray when I was supposed to and get rid of diseased fruit to no help at all.Should I severely trim the tree to start over?I’m in NY zone 5.Thanks!!
