Default Cooper Fungicide

Its ok on the leaves,Wash the plums tho. Depends on whether there is a
fungus on your apple tree. Copper sulphate is an old time fungicide,
still fairly effective on some fungi.

Hi,

Ive just sprayed my plum and cherry with murphys traditional copper
fungicide, using the dose recommended. (My plum had canker earlier in
the season)

Its left a blue-ish powder on the leaves (copper), I havent used this
before, so is this OK or should I wash it off.

Also is it worth giving my apple a spray?

Cheers

Ed
