Re: [nafex] Pruing/Growth

Hi Joe,

The more I research this PROHEXADIONE-CALCIUM (tradename:
Apogee) for chemical pruning the more I am amazed.

http://www.basf.com/businesses/consumer/agproducts/solutions/usa_products/Apogee.html

They are testing it for chemical pruning, fireblight
control, and even for controlling grass height.

Imagine being able to spray your lawn and have it remain at
that height.  The lawn mower people are going to HATE this
stuff!

Sign me up NOW! (LOL)  This may be an answer for my project
tree.

Later,
Tom
