Answer :

Hope that you have a sprayer that will reach your trees.  I have a commercial sprayer for our fruit trees.  I would try a 2 teasp of liquidkitchen soap w 1 qt of water.......you can times that by how much you need to do this tree.  You might need to repeat this in 7 days or so.   Now that cooler & colder weather is here you can use dormant spray on them follow the directions on the container for which season you are applying it.  Fall, winter & spring spray until the buds open.  Once they open I only spray that tree up to the first branch.  If you spray after the buds open it will kill the bees.  Keep children & pets away  until it dries.  Wear long old clothes, mask, hat, goggles & gloves.  Only make up what you need.
