FLOREL FRUIT MISTLETOE CONTROL 16oz

Stop unwanted fruit, flower drop, and effectively control mistletoe! Florel is a powerful plant growth regulator that converts into ethylene, a natural plant hormone. It causes premature leaf and fruit drop, which is used to prevent messy, unwanted fruit on ornamental trees (like Crabapples) and to cause the leaves of mistletoe to drop off, making the aerial parasite visible and easy to remove.

• Best For:
  • Mistletoe Control: Causing mistletoe plants to drop their leaves, making them easier to spot and prune out of high trees.
  • Ornamental Fruit Reduction: Preventing messy, unwanted fruit on ornamental pears, crabapples, olives, and sycamores.
  • Flower Prevention: Stopping nuisance flowers on specific ornamental plants.
• Key Actionable Steps:
  • How to Apply: Mix the concentrate with water according to label directions and apply as a thorough foliar spray to the specific areas you wish to treat (e.g., the mistletoe masses or the fruit-bearing branches).
  • Timing (Mistletoe): Spray mistletoe during the dormant season (late fall/winter) or early spring before bud break. The leaves will drop, making removal easy.
  • Timing (Fruit Reduction): Apply during the specific flower or early fruit stage listed on the label (this window is very short and critical).
  • Pro Tip: Read the label closely for mixing rates and specific timing! Timing is absolutely critical for this type of product to work effectively, especially for fruit prevention. Only apply to the plant varieties listed on the label.
