We just moved into a new house and the trees and shrubs need some TLC, can I use this now or is it best to wait until the fall?

I use the stakes in spring and late fall. Sometimes in spring I just brake the stakes into pieces a sprinkle them around the root area.

If they need TLC, now should be fine. I use them in the spring, and then again in the fall.

I believe there was a caution on the bottle about using it when it was windy out... but I was drilling holes in stumps and roots under ground, injecting it into the holes, and then covering everything back up, so I wasn't worried about the weather. And I did it in the fall. I'm in Colorado, so extremely wet weather isn't much of a concern here.

it's pretty much use as needed.. generally speaking.. follow the directions on the bottle.. check your local nursery for what to do when your plants have the blight..

I would not spray directly on my shrubs but around them yes, if you mix like you or suppose to. a little go's a long way. it has not hurt mine. spray around your shrubs not directly on them.

A general purpose is fine. Osmocote plus is great. Mix into the soil, and water thoroughly. Re apply every couple months based on how often you have to water. I bought this same tree about 12 months ago and mine is doing fantastic.

I would add this with my other nutes to the roots. Be careful when you use a folier spray . You can burn the leafs very easy. Put your folier spray on right before lights out. good luck.

Actually, Larry, I think if you give the roots a good soak 2 or 3 times a season (up to once a month) I think your trees will branch nicely. I have used it on my baby apple tree planted last fall and it is looking fantastic!

I live in zone six and that is what I have done. Bring it indoors when temps cool off in fall and take back outside when danger of frost has passed. I do have my plants under florescent lights while indoors.

I only recently purchased this item and there are still leaves on trees surrounding my house but thus far I have not noticed much of a difference.

It is recommended to use this product in springtime when the tree leaves are emerging. That is when the insecticide has the greatest flow from the tree roots upward. I used it late summer in hope that there was still some capillary action to draw this drench into the tree.Use it once a year. I recommend boring 1 inch to 2 inch holes into the dirt near the base of the tree to contain the run-off and serve the root system more quickly.

I do too. You need to bring it inside in the winter and boot it outside when it gets to 30 degrees and no lower in the spring. When you bring it in it goes dormant - needs no light. the leaves will drop(that's fine)...it can go in a basement, etc...just give it a little water each week.

Just go to HomeDepot or Lowes and purchase some mild Mildew Cleaner...Let it soak for 10-15 minutes and then wash with a water hose or a high pressure water hose...I have never been able to keep them looking new due to me having some many trees around, but this will definitely help you keep the dirt and mildew to a minimum...Hope this help...Note: Try to perform this task at least twice a year or when you see them start to look dirty...s...Larry

I used it in spring when tree first got leaves and when it was not raining alot. I wanted tree to absorb as much as it would. I have also used it this fall. It seems to have helped some. This is the first year i have used it though.

It will help to make the greenery last longer - but any fresh cut green that you bring into the house which is heated by hot air is going to dry out pretty quickly-but the wilt proof will help to make it last longer - and the garland will probably look decent as long as you don't touch it - if you touch it then most of the leaves/Needles will just crumble because they will be so dry(after a week or so)

I would avoid using in a bed with established perennial plants. However, you can lift your lilies (or other plants) in the fall, then till and amend your bed and replant. In spring, wait until you can see where the plant is coming up and carefully remove it, amend the soil, till and replant. If your beds are large, you might be able to work around the plants without doing too much damage, but you can't just chop up the plants and expect them to thrive.

Love my banana tree!!! I would recommend waiting to plant until later this spring- maybe late April when warmer temps are more consistent. This is a very fast growing plant so you'll have a beautiful plant in no time! I'm in MO and I cover mine with a heavy layer of mulch & they weather the winter beautifully!

I planted our tree in March (in central Texas) and it did great. If you protect it from any hard freeze you may have, I bet it will be fine to plant now.
