spraying dormant trees

[Willow at the Creek Figs]

What kind of order do you like to treat your dormant trees. Do you spray with dormant oil or fungicide first? Do you follow with a neem oil as well. Do you use any other treatments to keep your trees healthy over winter?? We have been using dormant oil and will spray in a few weeks. we will use a fungicide right before waking the trees in February. What's your process,??

Once my trees go dormant. I am going to spray them with a mixture of neem and pyrethrin. And may white wash them. I lost way to many to ambrosia and bark beetle's after that strange snow we had last year. Weakened trees invite beetles.

Last season before storage and as I pulled them out I spray them down with dormant oil, sulfur and a bit of copper fungicide.
This season the put away process for me has been crazy and the trees didn't get sprayed, they will when they come out for sure.
If my memory is correct you need at least 40 degrees to spray the dormant oil.
