Michigan Dormant Oil Application Service

Turf Tenders provides both a spring and fall dormant oil. This is a horticultural oil that we spray on trees after their leaves fall. It’s a refined oil that kills insect eggs by suffocating them. It also prevents insects from overwintering. The oil can’t be sprayed directly onto leaves, so you need to wait until they drop or before they come in. Because the oil works by suffocating insects, it can also suffocate your leaves and flowers, so it’s imperative that it’s only applied to dormant plants. Dormant oil is most commonly used on fruit trees, roses, and any trees or shrubs that had trouble with an infestation the previous season.

Many people think of trees and shrubs as plant-it-and-forget-it, but they need care and regular maintenance just like the rest of your lawn and landscaping. In addition to regular pruning and watering, trees and shrubs can benefit from such services as deep root feedings, dormant oil applications, Wilt-Pruf anti-desiccant applications, insecticide, and fungicide. Failing to maintain your trees and shrubs properly can lead to insect and fungus infestation, disease, or just plain drying out.
