• Kaolin clay sprays are an important organic orchard strategy used after petal fall to protect trees from sunburn and high temperatures. The spray is most commonly used for pears, apples, citrus, and stone fruit.
• It is important to build up a proper covering of clay with multiple applications of the spray on your trees or it will not be effective. It is suggested that you begin spraying at the first petal fall. Continue to re-apply once a week for six to eight weeks throughout the season. A sprayed tree will be coated by a thin white film of clay particles. Repeat applications after any major rain event are also recommended to provide ongoing protection from pests. Note that extra washing may be required at harvest to remove residue from fruit.
