growers began using II at once. I
continued 10 use the oil on my own
orchard for years. Some people toll
me 1t would iniure my trees and as I
was losing some trees. ! discontinued
the use OF ii and began using lime
and sulphur. but still lose trees
and do not know that it even killed
a tree for myself or anyone else
