<< Since it doesn't wash off, it should not travel to the fruit... famous last words. I have limited experience working with the product and I think one should check with the manufacturer before using it on fruit trees. >> It does wash off, at least the stuff I use. It is quite safe, but not strictly organic, I agree. Since it does wash off with a shower or two it gets very expensive. Another remedy to use is hanging bars of soap on the trees (works well) and I've been told deer hate the smell of garlic, so probably the best bet would be to spray trees with garlic water....this would wash off with a shower or two also, but much cheaper than deer-off....
