    I got pheromone traps from you, remember? Anyway, my question is as follows. I am following the IPM recommendations. My peach tree is in full bloom, but a stone fruit, no evidence of codling moths in previous years. My Granny Smith apple, and two pears have not bloomed yet. DO I WAIT FOR THE APPLE TREE FULL BLOOM, to watch for moths and place trap? Maureen Hoban
