  • Question
    How much Epsom salt per gallon of water?
    Binh Nguyen
    Community Answer
    Add two tablespoons of Epsom salt to a gallon of water, and use tank sprayer to apply the mix once a month, substituting the spray for a regular watering. Use one tablespoon per gallon of water if you apply Epsom salt spray more often than once a month.

  • Question
    Can I use any Epsom salt? Our dollar store has the scented kind.
    Community Answer
    I would check at your local pharmacy or medical supply location for plain old Epsom salt. The scent probably won't hurt the tree, but better to be safe. Also, the plain kind should be less expensive.

      Tips

      • Alternatively spray each month with Dithane945 or Bordeaux mixture. Prevent rain from splashing on the tree between late Autumn and mid-Spring. Certain varieties (eg Avalon Pride) have good resistance to peach leaf curl.
        Thanks

      • You want to treat the tree when it is in the dormant state (i.e. fall, early spring before buds are produced).
        Thanks
