My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

When to treat orange tree to prevent rust mites?

9 years ago

I had some pretty bad rust mite damage on my oranges last season (I posted about it here: What's wrong with my orange tree? back in Nov). I got advice from several places that I should treat the tree with neem oil this year to prevent mites. What I don't know is when I should treat the tree.
I am in Tampa, FL. The tree currently has flowers in bloom.
Thanks!
