Instruction mentioned to measure distance around the tree trunk to apply proper amount. Is it asking the circumference of the trunk or the diameter?

I took this as the circumference of the tree and foilage at this height above the ground

Circumference. Have been using this faithfully for many years - it really works. My neighbors who were too cheap to buy this now have dead dogwood trees. My four dogwoods, five maples, two ash and one bradford pear tree are all still doing great.

Circumference. Use a soft tape measure and wrap it around the trunk of the tree about 4 1/2 feet up from the ground. Apply one ounce of Bayer for each inch around.

Sorry to say I don't know, but I would measure both distances, one should be 1/2"

From what point do you want the measurement taken. I can help, but need a little more info

James - Been awhile since I put it on, but I did three trees with a 2"diameter covering approximately 3 feet of trunk on each. Just guessing, but 20 feet or better? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I was able to measure the canopy as I have not yet installed this light and went to the box and measured the diameter. Aloha...

Measure the spines; the spokes. Or when completely opened, measure the diameter. You can order from either measurement.

I know the description says: simply measure the outside to outside dimension of you sunroof. It has been several years since I put it on a car I no longer have. The actual dimension of 41.5" confused me initially when I saw the overall length was almost 47" and the outer contact areas are not that wide. I guess you need to get the closest shade that is longer than your sun roof. I saw one that was 43.3, I believe. Also, you need to make sure you have enough flat area outside the sun roof so the outer contact area mounts on a flat area rather than one that is curving down toward the top of the windows. I hope this helps. I know the description says: simply measure the outside to outside dimension of you sunroof. It has been several years since I put it on a car I no longer have.

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.

Do you mean the diameter (measure the length from the back to the front) or the circumference (the size of the circular base and the circular cover)? i am going to give you both, but i thought i should clarify which was which in case there was an error in your wording. the diameter of top is 4" and the bottom is 2 3/4". i believe that what you need is the circumferences. here they are: top 13" bottom 9". hope this helps.

After you wrap the tree guard around a small sappling, the measurement from the ground up is about 23 inches. The distance would be much less if the diameter of the trunk is over 1 1/2 inches as it would take more plastic to wrap around a 5 inch diameter trunk!

I agree the directions are somewhat confusing. It appears that for trees 6-8" diameter to mix solution of 20-25 oz of Bonide to 1-2 gallons of water and apply to root zone as a band around the base of the tree from base outward to 2-4 feet around. However, since birch trees have more than one trunk, am not sure what the amount should be. I use this for large shrubs and small trees. For trees bigger like yours, I actually have a tree service do a soil drench each year. I have a white birch 25 yrs old, very large, and still looking great whereas other people in the neighborhood who have not treated their birches have lost them to borers. You might want to check with a local arborist for more help. Good luck!

The 1820 will give you an idea of just how wet the soil is in the root ball. All new trees require a fair amount of watering early on so don't let your tree go dry, be sure to water the soil around the root ball also. One thing about the 1820, don't drive yourself crazy trying to hit a specific number, just use it a gauge to determine that the soil is not too wet or too dry.

It is a function of tree size, and based on the circumference about 4 ft off the ground. We did this last year, so I don't remember the exact amount, but our trees are mature, about 10-20 inches in diameter. (circumference is about 3 times the diameter -- I'm a math teacher, sorry) We used about a half gallon per tree, on average. You should be able t go to the Bonide website for an exact answer. By the way, we switched to a granular systemic this year -- it was easier, but still pricey for mature trees.

The trunk lights are just like a net light set, but in different proportions. They are a blanket of lights that measures 2 ft x 8 ft. The 2 ft is meant to reach around the trunk, but there are no buttons or clips. You will have to use some soft twist-ties, fishing line, cable ties, or some other sort of string to pull the edges together on the back to hold them in place. These 2 ft wide trunk lights are the perfect size for tree trunks that are approximately 8 inches in diameter. If the tree trunk is wider, you can put several together. If the tree trunk is thinner, then you can have a little overlap in the back.

Go to the website. There are instructions and a printable measuring device.

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 distance between the bottom of the trunk and the lowest branch is 36 inches. The tree is shipped in several pieces that you then line up together to put on the wall. The distance between the bottom of the trunk and lowest branch could be customized if you wanted to cut off the lowest branch. As you can tell from the photo, it is a smaller branch. The next one is about 10 inches up from that. You could also cut inches off from each trunk piece, but realize that the width of your trunk on the two corresponding pieces may differ after you cut them shorter.
