Fruit Tree Mentor (IL)

[Post a Follow Up] [Post to this category]
From: James Schroeder City: Hebron, IL
I live outside of Hebron about 6 miles from the Wisconsin boarder. I have planted several fruit trees that include apples, cherries, apricots, plums, peaches, pears. I want to have good fruit but have no clue what to spray or even what I need to look for in order to determine what I would need to spray. I need a mentor who knows No. IL and what pests are here and how to deal with them. I need help. Where can I go? Who can help me? Please respond. thanks, JMS
