Monterey Florel Brand Growth Regulator (Residential) - 1 Qt

Control Nuisance Fruit on Ornamental Trees - 1 Qt Liquid

Fruit drop from ornamental trees and shrubs can make a mess of walkways, lawns and patios. This contact growth regulator is based on ethephon, which breaks down into ethylene inside the plant. When a plant is in bloom, excess ethylene causes blossom abortion, so the fruit never sets.
