Hello Mr. Wiley,
Thank you for your question about caring for your fruit trees. I will share a few helpful sites about how to prevent and manage harm from pests and disease organically.
If you would also like information about how to use "non-organic" chemicals, I can refer your question to an OSU Extension volunteer who has expertise in the use of insecticides on fruit trees.
These three sites have helpful information and also references to additional resources. Keep in mind that your local OSU Extension Office can also be of assistance. They can test your soil and help to identify or advise about the prevention of diseases and pests.
