Vitax Winter Tree Wash 500ml is a blend of natural plant and fish oils designed to control insect and aphid eggs on fruit trees and bushes during the dormant season. Applied as a fine spray to bark surfaces, it removes the dust, wax and debris that pests use to anchor their eggs, giving fruit trees and bushes a clean start to the growing year.
Suitable for organic gardening, Vitax Winter Tree Wash can be used on both edible and ornamental crops. It works purely by physical means — clearing the plant of eggs, larvae and nymphs of aphids and other insects — and is approved for use on most fruit trees and bushes including apple, pear, plum, cherry and raspberry, plus many more.
Made by Vitax, this traditional winter wash is a useful addition to any fruit grower's toolkit. Apply it after leaf fall in late autumn or during the dormant winter months, and re-apply just before bud break in early spring if required. The 500ml bottle includes a built-in measuring chamber for simple dilution.
How to Use
- Mix: Loosen the cap and squeeze gently to fill the measuring chamber. Mix 50ml of Winter Tree Wash per litre of water.
- Spray: Apply as a fine spray, thoroughly covering all bark surfaces — including the crooks of branches and stems where pests commonly harbour.
- Timing: Apply during calm, dry conditions in the dormant period, ideally November through to February.
- Re-apply if needed: A second application can be made just prior to bud break in early spring if pest pressure has been high.
- Test first: If in doubt, test a small area 24 hours before treating the whole plant.
Where to Use
- Fruit trees: apple, pear, plum, cherry, peach, and other top fruit.
- Fruit bushes: raspberry, blackcurrant, redcurrant, gooseberry, and blueberry.
- Ornamental trees and shrubs: roses, ornamental crab apples, and other woody plants that suffer from aphid overwintering.
When to Use
- Best timing: November through to February during the dormant season.
- Ideal window: after leaf fall in late autumn, prior to bud break in early spring.
- Conditions: apply on a calm, dry day so the spray dries on the bark rather than running off.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Vitax Winter Tree Wash do?
Vitax Winter Tree Wash is a blend of natural plant and fish oils that removes the dust, wax and insect debris on fruit tree and bush bark — material that aphids and other insects use to secure their eggs over winter. It clears eggs, larvae and nymphs from the bark, helping to reduce pest populations before they emerge in spring.
Is Winter Tree Wash suitable for organic gardening?
Yes. Vitax Winter Tree Wash is suitable for organic gardening. It works purely by physical means — physically removing eggs, larvae and wax deposits from the bark — and contains no chemical insecticides, so it is approved for organic use on edible and ornamental crops.
Which fruit trees and bushes can I treat with Winter Tree Wash?
Vitax Winter Tree Wash can be used on most fruit trees and bushes, including apple, pear, plum, cherry and raspberry. It is also suitable for other top fruit, cane fruit, and bush fruit, as well as ornamental woody plants such as roses and crab apples that suffer from aphid overwintering.
When should I apply Winter Tree Wash?
Apply during the dormant season — November through to February — ideally after leaf fall in late autumn and before bud break in early spring. Choose a calm, dry day so the spray dries on the bark rather than running off. A repeat application just before bud break is recommended where pest pressure has been high.
How do I dilute and apply Vitax Winter Tree Wash?
Loosen the cap and squeeze the bottle gently to fill the built-in measuring chamber. Mix 50ml of concentrate per litre of water and apply as a fine spray, thoroughly covering all bark surfaces — paying particular attention to the crooks of branches and stems where pests commonly harbour.
