Citrus could be sprayed but it is usually not necessary; and you would only spray if you have aphids on the foliage and only if the tree is not pushing new growth. As a general rule of thumb we do not spray citrus trees with dormant oil, though we may spray the trees during the growing season with a summer oil.
If the tree still has a lot of buds which have not yet opened, then yes the tree can be sprayed with the dormant oil. It may burn a few of the ones that are open, but the closed ones will be just fine. If the majority of the buds are open, then do not spray.
Can I spray on my pears plum apples and cherries. I just bout a bunch and don't know much
How about citrus? Same application? Thanks

What if there is already buds and tiny leaves?
