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

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.

This is the second year that I've purchased this product. The first year I had no idea what I needed or how much, so I winged it. It worked extremely well, even though I didn't have enough for the last tree and fruit grew a little, but this year I purchased twice as much and it has relieved me of hours and hours of clean up from useless fruit. I've spent several weekends cleaning and cleaning because of these trees. The shade is amazing and they look gorgeous otherwise I'd cut them down. I've even convinced my neighbors who have the same line of trees to purchase some next year. This year was too late for them so they will see the contrast from what their sidewalk looks like compared to mine. I'll keep buying this product because it just works. Read the instructions and if you're not sure, take it to a local hardware store that sells chemicals and they should be able to decipher your needs. Great stuff! Absolutely great.

Works pretty well on Olive Trees. One year it did not work very well, but may be due to how I sprayed or dilution of the product. Would buy again.

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.

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?

apply early spring before leaves

Did not kill the mistletoe in mosquite trees in Arizona.

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.
