Default When do I spray the fruit trees?

I have several plum and peach trees. We moved here last year, and were
excited about having fruit trees, but alas, when the fruit came out, it all
got this ugly mildew and shriveled up to nothing! This year, I want to spray
the trees so they don't any pests or diseases, but I have no idea when is
the correct time to spray. Does anyone know when is the appropriate time?

Thanks!!! Happy Gardening

Check with a reputable nursery in your area. There are different types of
sprays. I believe dormant oil is sprayed in late winter/ early spring,
which means something different depending on your zone.

The county agent also can help. They are very helpful albeit lonely folk
just dying to talk to someone who will listen.
