is it safe to use on newly planted bare root trees (popular david wilson nursery) after they leaf out (these are 2 year old trees as per nursery)..

I think it would be fine since they are two years old, give them a couple of weeks to settle in and maybe go with half the recommendation for the number of spikes to use for established trees. They are simply terrific, getting ready to get more for our apple and pear trees.

our trees were several years old, I do know that new growth (tender-new growth cant handle alot of fertilizer) 'nMy reccommendation would to apply approx 2-3 ft from core or trunk janet

I agree with Janet, three feet from the base is good but break two spikes in half and place one in each quadrant around the tree. A little tap with the hammer in the palm of your hand or on the grass and they break easily. The roots will be established by the time they reach the fertilized area this year.

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.

If your seedlings longer than 3-4 inch and, they have at least 3-4 leafs yes you can use it. Otherwise all seedlings are very sensitive before 3-4 inch long. Make sure your nutrients EC level is at most 1,5 before use it for young seedlings.

Needles will eventually get caught in the brushes but the ones I have on my front awning and also the ones on the back have only been replaced in about 8 to 10 years. I started using them because with metal patio awnings you can't get anything in the gutter to clear it out. The brushes have been wonderful for worry free cleaning and I did have two big fir trees shedding needles on my roof until late last summer. I had the brushes all replaced this past summer and the old ones were pretty shabby but gutters did not clog even with the brushes so old and lots of needles falling every year.

Depending on the climate, once a month if dry. Be careful to not leave it alone for too long. You can saturate the soil and cause root rot or worse float the tree right out of the ground. I've heard from my tree guy that he had a customer fell a large maple because the roots had nothing to hold on to but mud. Left the thing on overnight...bummer.

We planted them in hydro planters, however, the plants we received were more dead than alive and none survived. I would not order bare root; it simply does not work.

I believe its safe on all plants. I have many different plants in my home including bonzai and they're all fine after using this product. Goodluck.

I planted it in Spring and it showed a good growth. Then came the Arctic vortex last winter. I thought it was dead and pulled it out and throw in the container of a different tree I planted in its spot. I recognized new growth late summer and plant it to a new spot. I covered new growrh with straw this time. It seems OK after 2 early strong frosts in Tennessee. I cross my fingers. This is a tough little thing I really do not know how to answer. If you do not have strong frosts in your region, it may be good for root growth without stressing the tree.

That's what we were going to do but ours died in the infancy stage :-(. I would recommend that you go to a nursery and ask which potting soil would be best as they have many varieties.

If you wait long enough anything will block them up. But the rain will still get through to the downspouts. My daughter had the tree from H)*&& and they worked very well for four years now. Just clean them out every year.

Every day, if not every other day. Don't let the soil dry out. You'll see this tree will thrive, lots of new growth with the right conditions. This is a great bonsai. Good luck!

I don't know. My root from my tree that was exposed was in a rock area under the tree. The solution is pretty thin and it took just a little bit to take care of the problem. If you have exposed roots with the sprouts I would just pour some into a small container and use a paint brush to apply to root so the grass would not be touched.

I used just drop of Tordon on a freshly cut two-year old dogwood seedling where the roots were totally entangled with an established Azalea. there was no way in this case to remove the tree stem/roots from the azalea. The dogwood never came back, and the azalea died within a month. I love this product for invasives, but be careful.

no! use distilled water or rain water only, 2ndly dont buy it online buy it from a local nursery, dew plants are very hard to keep alive the first year.

Go to nearest hardware store and copy instructions from "ROOT KILL" product. 2nd option is 2-6lbs twice a year, putting 1/2 lb in toilet and flushing, do this over a several weeks time for tough root problems. Get yourself some plastic containers that can hold a 2lb capacity and keep them on hand, I usually buy 25lbs.. The first time you start doing this treatment go for 4 lbs and see if it works and adjust up or down accordingly. I like the adage " a little over a long time" once it kicks in you do it every year (twice during the first year). Good luck !!

I used DriWater on potted flowers. This works by cutting slits in the plastic tube so that the solution touches the plant soil so there must be room for the tube to lay on the soil. DriWater keeps my indoor plants and trees alive for 30 days. Highly recommend.

I read the microbes die off after about 3 months, but the nutrient value remains. Most recommend using within 3 months. I've use some that was a year old that I kept in a tightly sealed plastic bucket, and although it wasn't as good as fresh stuff, it still worked well around my plants. Since you can't burn plants with it, you can reapply it throughout the growing season around your trees, I re-apply around my roses throughout the growing season and it helps with rebloom and root health. I use about a cup each and I go through a 15lb bag quick.
