I have used the Advanced Garden Tree and Shrub on all my newly budded tress this year & have no leaf minor damage on any of them. This studd works, but takes time for the tree to absorb it. I mixed it with water & used it once every six weeks in low dose. No minors, no caterpillars... Seems to work great.

On non treated in ground producing trees, the minor have had a field day. This is one of the worst years I have had for minors.

This was a bad year here as well--they really got a hold back in July when it rained every day and kept the oil and spinosad washed off.

Amire Pro is available on ebay. This is the link I copied, but if it doesn't get you there just do a search with their search engine. I think it is a restricted pesticide in SC.
