    Hey all....I am new to the board. Recently my Satsuma tree was in full bloom and I sprayed it mistakenly with Malathion and the instructions state that I should not spray it while in full bloom. What are the issues with doing this and will it be safe to eat the fruit in the fall? Thanks!

    Yes, it will be very safe to eat the fruit next fall. No problem. - Millet (1,379-)

    OK...Thank you much. Why does it state to not spray it while in full bloom?

    All products, every single one, state not to spray during full bloom. You should not even spray pure water during full bloom. Any spraying during bloom can greatly reduce the next crop load. - Millet (1,379-)
