Comments (2)Just curious Kokos, what is the label rate per gallon of water? Copper is commonly used as a dormant season spray for disease control, it can be used during the growing season but care must be exercised with more dilute rates than dormant season and proper environmental conditions when spraying to avoid foliar burn....See MoreAlternative to Liquid Copper Fungicide?
Comments (6)>this would be applied to the wound after the tree had sealed the area off, NOT > to fresh wounds. So, the question would be, would Timbor work its way >through the dead wood to living tissue? But as the branch collar expands to grow over the wound, that growing tissue is in direct contact with the treated wound. My concern is that this would delay the closing of the wound if the timbor affects the collar growth. The timbor web site says that the treatment lasts as long as the wood is not exposed to running water, so rain may be able to leach some out. Who knows how much of the timbor would leach out of the wound and if that would be enough to slow the growth of the collar? If closing is just delayed, maybe it's a non-issue since the timbor would prevent any rot from starting. If the timbor really kills the encroaching collar, that's a different story. I think a few simple experiments are in order. Alex...See Morewashingtonia has mold on it,will liquid copper fungicide work?
Comments (3)Rot after cold damage is usually caused by bacteria so a systemic fungicide won't help. The only curative for bacteria is antibiotics which are rarely used due to the cost and resistance.

Its also helps to spray the plants when the temperature warms up. Systemics are taken up by the plant and kill pests when they feed on the plant tissue....See MoreLiquid Copper Fungicide
Comments (1)I would only use it for dire circumstances, I prefer the sulfur based Dactonil that is found at Lowes and Home Depot. It does not leave any heavy metals behind in the plant or soil and biodegrades in about a month. It is also much less expensive....See More- 14 years agolast modified: 9 years ago
