If you have bug issues with any blossoming tree or plant, the best thing to do is spray before the blossoms close and make fruit. The bugs get into the flower, close up...hence, bugs in fruit. Trees are not my forte, and if anyone out there knows more, please correct me.
For those of you who plan on planting fruit bearing trees, remember you need two trees to bear that fruit. They "mate". There is a certain distance in which you are to do this. Talk to a nursery that specializes in trees/shrubs. They are most helpful.
