Dear Shelly,

sorry if I do not answer you before but I was in a field campaign with limited 
access to internet connection. . As I understood the tree is alive, so I 
suggest you to treat it prevently before put in the Museum. You can use pyretro 
or  pyretroids (organic solution) or Spirotetramat (5%), or Deltametrina  
(about 2.5%).

Have a nice day

Oggetto: Re: [PestList] RE: Peach Tree and Preventing Pests in Exhibition


Hi Shelly,


I have a couple of questions about this tree, is the tree already dead wood, or 
is the intention to keep the tree alive/in full foliage for the exhibition? I 
would be cautious when investigating methods of treatment, as typical treatment 
methods would likely result in damage (leaf or bloom drop) or potentially even 
death of the tree. Additionally, the heavy application of insecticide might 
cause significant visual alterations (such as leaf scorching) that may not fit 
the artist's vision.


I think this needs to be more closely discussed with the artist, and possibly 
an arborist. If the tree needs to stay alive and unaltered, a hyper-sensitive 
monitoring program in the exhibition spaces for the exhibit's duration may be 
your best course of action.


Best,
