Bonide Tree and Shrub or Bayer? Bayer says it also fertilizes the tree, but I dont see that listed for Bonide. Thanks!

No fertilizer, just straight-up systemic poison. we had severe galls on a witchhazel from aphids --- worked well.

I don't think it is a tree fertilizer. It is intended to be a systemic insecticide that's absorbed by the shrub or tree, preferably through the root system, spreads throughout the shrub or tree, and helps in controlling a wide vaiety of insects. Mind you, it has been my experience that it works on some species of plants but somehow not in others. I still use it nonetheless - works much better than other brand name products in my opinion.

I checked with my husband and he said "yes it does inhibit new growth as well kill current suckers". I know this is the only product that works for us and it is far more expensive at the local nursery. Hope this is helpful to you.

Hi Ja - I've planted several new roses, about 1 month ago and bought the Bayer Advanced 2 in 1 systemic.Early days still, but container states for Roses and Flowers..But contains strong fertilizer and Aphid protection for 8 weeks. Not use on veg or near Ponds and wash hands after use..pretty potent stuff, I.m assuming.Sorry I can't help more - but I was impressed by another product of Bayer and I'm thinking 'Give it a try' Maybe tell you more about performance. a few more months down the line.Regards and Good Luck ..Linda x

Sorry but I can not answer your question since soon after I received the bonsai, I discovered many of the leaves were darkened and I felt was infested systemically. This was a poor excuse for a bonsai and I discarded it since the leaf-drop was very extensive and I didn't wish to waste my time on using a systemic insecticide on the plant. I really felt my money was wasted on this plant. Good luck with yours and best wishes.

I would call Bayer. If I'not mistaken it will kill St. Augustine. It didn't wok for me on crabgrass or carpet grass. Just made it sick for a while after 2 applications then came back with a vengeance.

Dear Jagvdp: ask ten people and you will receive ten different answers. Ferilization depends on what you are fertilizing. For me (and I suggest you keep asking of check out Google). I use a 1/4 tsp in the last watering for all my tropical Bonsai. I fertilize five days a week and then use clear water on Saturdays and Sundays.

Just saw this message. I have no idea. Perhaps you should write to the manufacturer. Just a note...........my husband does not take the beet root as prescribed, he's only taking one daily so don't think it's helping much if any.

I don't know the specifics of your trees.One packet makes 2.5 Gal of 0.5% Imidacloprid Solution.Same active ingredient of as all the Bayer advanced solutions at HD and Lowes.If the Bayer Products work for your application - adjust the % solution to match their recommendations.

http://www.bonide.com/faq/index.html Go to FAQ that begins " I misplaced the directions...", click on 'click here'. That should take you to the company's directions. Right side, go down to 069. Several options for application. I used a spray bottle in and around flower beds. Some flower bulbs shriveled and died but the sedge did too. Very worth it.

Maybe the Bayer website can tell you the chemical, I finished the bottle last summer. I will add that it definitely had a good effect on controlling the Bermuda grass, but I put it on 3 times a year for 2 years before the stuff finally died completely.

To address your question regard the use of fertilizer, I didn't fertilize my orchids while they are blooming, I only used this product and had great results. Numbers are nitrogen 0.00005%; phosphate 0.000004%; potash 0.003%. I don't recommend spraying this on the leaves or the flower, just on the soil. Good luck.

The chemicals become too concentrated for the small space of a pot, where all the roots are confined. In fact, the chemicals can leach through ceramic or clay pots and collect on the outside of the pot as a white crystalline substance. I found this out the hard way. I talked with Bayer, and the person I talked with had the answer that made sense. Use the Bayer spray product for potted plants. And I see they now have spikes that can be used in pots - but only for insects + fertilizer, not for diseases.

I don't know. But rearch the name bonide and call their number. They were great help with my ivy. In fact I have now called them 3 times with other questions. They are really good

Yes. This weed killer is selective - not like Roundup, which kills all vegetation. Used properly the Bonide will not damage grass, only killing weeds in the grass.

Surfactant - "Improves wetting of foliage and results in faster week kill". I bought a product called Herbicide Helper from Monterey. Seems to work fine, but I must admit this is the only time I ever used a surfactant

I mixed the triclopyr pretty heavy, to make sure it killed the poison ivy. And, it did brown out the grass. Not sure if it killed the grass and it filled back in, or if the grass just browned out and recovered. In any case, the poison ivy was dead! Definitely recommend this product for eliminating woody vines.
