Prevent Fruit Scarring on Nectarine

Fruit scarring on nectarines is common in the desert Southwest. It is caused by an very small insect

that you will not see with your naked eye. This insect rips away at the skin of tiny nectarine fruits and cause even more damage as the fruit is getting larger.

The fruit is ugly and inedible because of its appearance. Not because eating it will hurt you.....it won't!

This is the same insect that causes deformed rose flower buds and flowers. Western flower thrips.

To prevent scarring of fruit you need to apply a natural product that discourages these tiny pests from ripping away at skin of the fruit. Applications should be done early and repeated through the growing season.

Monterrey Garden Insect Spray contains concentrated spinosad in a ready to apply hose end applicator. Focus on spraying the fruit, not the entire tree.
