How much do I need for birch tree about 6-8inches in diameter? (birch borers) I cannot see any directions for use of this.

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!

I got my 2 trees about 8 months ago, they are potted & are both about 2 feet tall. Won't really know how big they're going to get until this growing season. It's cold now & they're inside.

1 ounce per inch of circumference. Use a tape measure around the trunk of the tree and if it is 14 inches use 14 ounces for that tree. Use approximately a 2:1 ration for mixing with water. Example: 14 ounces of solution and 28 ounces of water. Hope this helps!

Hello Susan, I would not recommend this tool for that type of tree. That tree is more of a hedge than a typical tree with large limbs. There is also a correct way to prune this type of tree and you should follow that procedure in order to continue to enjoy the beauty and benefits of the tree. I included a website underneath for you. I hope this helps. http://extension.unh.edu/resources/files/Resource000594_Rep616.pdf regards frank

Need more than one bag or use Ross Root Soaker. River birch need lots of water. Type of soil a factor too.

They are 36" already spiraled, therefore will cover 36" of your tree trunk. They are generally used for tender saplings with a slight diameter of trunk. They work very well! Saved our Japanese Elm from voracious puppies!

It depends on the size of the hole in the base. This is a kit that fit a small hole and is what I think you need. If it has a large (close to an inch, you need the kit that has the kind that has a clip in bulb. As for the star, I think that will be hard. It depends on the size of the hole but many will be too big. You will probably need to take the tree to a store such as Michael's.

I have cut a fallen tree that was about 14-16" in diameter. Took about 10 min. Cuts 3-4" branches easily with a few pulls.

You will receive 5. I put mine on Crape Myrtles which are multi-stumped. These are heavy duty and I recommend them for traditional one-stumped trees such as oaks, maples etc. Deer don't stand a chance.

I used to use a large tree, but, I suppose the traditional target would be two inch thick boards, held together by supports in the rear. I have seen them mounted to a triangle support, with a leg from the top to keep it upright. Using 2"x6" boards, you can make it any size you want.

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 size you have that's close to,but under 1/2 inch. This will also help in not splitting the wood. If you have a 3/8 wood bore bit that's the best

When we trim the trees in our backyard we cut the 2 inch in diameter plus one in 2 10 inch strips and use them in the pit. I would think any kind of wood would work, we even occasionally use the pre purchase log that are made for the fireplace.

Most of the trees I've used in on are 8 inch or less in diam. and it has worked well. I've used in on Osage Orange (Hedge) and Junipers (cedars), which are in over grown areas so the shorter handle has been a plus.

I haven't deployed the ones I bought, but these are for smaller starter trees with a 1 to 3 inch diameter.

About 8to10 feet tall.Be careful in June July August. Check for good root system. Every other day.Add nitrogen twice a year. The first year develop a good root system.don't cut the suckers they will feed the trunk.Next year you start shaping the tree. God Luck
