I have two very tall ash trees, Would I use one gallon per tree or for both trees. Would I apply once a year or twice a year. Would I apply for one year or two years?

Oh no. Not unless your tree trunks are 128" in circumference. That is how many ounces you will have in your gallon container. Wait for a day when it has completely finished raining, at least an inch of rain, so the ground is damp and your tree roots are primed to soak this expensive stuff into its system. I like to wait until the little tree leaves just start to grow fast in early/mid May in my area. October works but you will have to research the timing of this on line. Get out a measuring tape and measure the circumference of your tree trunk 40" up from the ground. Check the label directions to see which formula you have. Regular formula Bayer will state to use 1 oz of liquid per inch of circumference. Landscapers formula is concentrated so use 1/2 ounce per inch of trunk girth. Find a liquid measuring cup with the ounce measurements on it. (Never use it for food again no matter how much you wash it.) I got a 32 ounce (quart size) at a local farm store and marked it for pesticides only. Pour the measured ounces into a large bucket and add 2 more gallons of water. Be sure to rake away debris or mulch within a 16" perimeter around the base of the tree trunk. Bare soil is best. Pour slowly no farther than 8" away from the trunk all the way around. If your tree is suffering, it will look bad during the summer and need till the next year before you see recovery. I understand 50% loss of tree leaf canopy is usually the limit though. Now, saying all that, I have been told to save your money and to not start treatment until the Emerald Ash Borer is within 15 miles of your trees. Not sure? Type in EAB infestation for your state and you should find a county by county map infestation graph. How long to treat? You will to do this once annually until the EAB on the infestation map disappears. It is worth saving these trees Martha. We are in it for the long haul.

First I must say, follow label recommendations. I apply to a giant oak once each spring. I measure the diameter of the trunk and follow the lable with the DRY PELLETS. It is amazing,

The amount to apply is based on the distance around the trunk of the tree. The instructions on the container will provide the amount in ounces per inch around the trunk. From everything I've read, one application per year is recommended and applications should continue for each year the threat of ash borer is present (I've been treating mine for 4 years).

Concentrate application is based on x number of fluid ounces for each 1" of tree circumference measured 4'-5' above the ground. Check the directions carefully.

According to the directions, you should measure the distance around the trunk of the tree near the base and mix 1/2 ounce of the concentrate per inch with a bucket of water. Apply it once per year. There is enough in the bottle to do 256 inches of tree so it goes a long way.

It is based upon the type of tablets you are using, the type of tree/shrub, and the size of the tree/shrub. Look at the instructions for the feeder tablets that you plan to purchase. It should have instructions on how much to use. Instructions for Fruit and Nut Trees: Young Tree= 1 tablet per 2 ft of height at a 6" depth; Established Tree=2 tablets per 1" of trunk diameter at a 12" depth. Hope that helps.

depends on the plants being sprayed the normal mix is 2-6 drops per gallon for others 3-4 drops per gallon apply 7-10 days intervals.

I use 1 teaspoon per gallon, but you have to apply it at least 3 times, about a week apart each time. Orthene is a systemic, so eventually the plant has enough to fight off most infestations. To prevent future infestations, use 1 teaspoon per gallon applied twice, about a week apart each several times throughout the year.

Mine lasted so long that when it finally started burning out we bought a second tree and now use the 1st one for spare parts! Never tried to buy individual pieces.

I found the answer on the internet, very easy to find. I did want to mention, be very careful not to overapply, it should be used very sparingly... don't assume that using a little extra will be better, it will burn up your plants.Also, dont get it on the foliage, and water it into the soil.

It should be okay around established trees, but not saplings. The original use for this chemical was along fence lines, so older trees are robust enough to stand up. I would be careful about how much you use for this application. I use about a 1/2 cup in 2 gallons of water and apply at a medium spray from my hand held tank. Diuron is non-soluble, so you will need to really shake it up to suspend it in water.

I use Remedy Ultra for killing Chinese tallow trees and this product is the generic equivalent. I mix one gallon with 3 gallons of diesel fuel and spray the bottom 12" of the tree trunks. It can be done any time of the year, but not if the trunks are covered with ice or heavy rain is on the way. It is especially effective on trunks up to 3" but does very well on trunks up to 6". I have killed mature tallows with 12+" trunks but it takes several applications and maybe a year or two before they fall over.

I actually talked to the company, they said once a year is sufficient. Preferably applied in spring, but not required then. Just do not apply it during possible freezing temps or a day of heavy rain.

depends how big the tree is. If it's a smaller tree this will be fine, but if it is a normal sized tree than you should get bigger tracks

We really only used it once before it went out, but it did go way up the tree. We wanted to shine it on a tree for Christmas on the road , but to get a good effect going up and down the road you probably would need two. In the house it covered around a third of the room and ceiling.

I am not expert, but would wait several weeks before reapplying...I use it for trying to combat ash borer, and I apply more heavily in spring and then again in fall before dormancy

It says to treat twice a year so I assume that you could use it on maples at least six months before you would tapp for the sap flowing in the spring.

Ben, I suppose you could, but really SuperThrive is designed to go to the roots, so a watering can with 1/4 tsp per gallon is the normal prescription. I have found that 1/2-1 gallon per medium sized plant (or even small tree) does dandy 2 or 3 times a season. I have had it take a tree to triple the size in one season! And, green up some rather puny looking bushes. I made the mistake of using it on some of my in-ground herbs and they have grown out of control! :D

Mr. Harry:I had to do some math to figure out that also. I see I wrote down 1/3 oz. for my 2 gal tank sprayer. Six teaspoons make an ounce, so I use 2 teaspoons for my 2 gallons. Therefore you only need 1 teaspoon for 1 gallon. So far I only used the product for one application because fall came and grass was going dormant. I did after several weeks start to get that frost look, but what I read is that it really needs 2-3 applications. Another trick I use is to add some Bonide Spreader Sticker to the mix. It provides adhesion of the tenacity so it sticks better to the vegetation and lets it perform better. I bought that on Amazon also.

mix 2 pounds per 30 gallons of water. Spray each tree untill the leaves are damp on both sides but not dripping. Start spraing at first leaves and spray every 2 to 3 weeks untill arround the first of June. hope this helps you.

Depends on size and species. For majestic tree I used 3-4. For pindo I used 4-6. Sego may use 2.
