The tree trunk is the main thoroughfare for may pests to attack fruit trees and the use of tree grease provides a simple and effective means of monitoring pest activity by trapping them in their path.

Directions for use:
For Tree Grease to be fully effective, a complete barrier must be formed. Choose a suitable position on the tree trunk, at least 45cm/18″ above ground level but below the lowest branch and remove any loose bark. Using a stiff brush or spatula, form a ring approximately 10cm/4″ wide around the girth of the tree making sure that the tree grease is worked into any cracks or crevices. Replenish if necessary to maintain stickiness.
When to Apply
- Apply grease in autumn September/Early October and re-apply in February
