Has anyone used this as a soil drench for a cherry tree? I have two mature ornamental cherries in my yard that are in need of system fungicide.

Never used on a tree, but it did treat my entire perennial garden twice (I have confirmed phytophthora root rot which killed all my rhodedendrons last year). I would recommend a soil soak. The second time I treated, I sprayed the plants and they burned. They are recovering okay but next time I will do the soil soak, if your tree is smaller, I think that a soil spray would be sufficient. So far my weigelas, which would be the most susceptible, look great.

No I have not used this on cherry trees. I would suggest calling the manufacture for information on this product for your particular type tree. I used it on a Bashovia shade tree in Florida and it did work on it.

I may be mistaken, but I do not believe that it is recommended as a systemic - you can, however, spray the tree thoroughly. I have used it twice (4x actually - 2 in the fall and 2 in the spring) for Black Knot Fungus on cherry and plum trees. For fruit, be careful of the mixture ratio so that you do not 'burn' the tree.

Works well on both. Use it before you get disease! I would use a weak foliar spray, and also use 1 teaspoon / gallon as a transplant drench. Then repeat about every 3 weeks or so. More often is humidity is high (over 60% RH during the hot part of the day) Do NOT use the foliar spray in hot dry weather!

I used this product successfully on a Bottlebrush hedge and a very large Grapefruit tree in Mesa AZ., with good results. I use a similar product on my raspberry patch in Regina SK. I spread it on the ground near the dripline of the shrub or tree and then water some of it in, leaving rain to gradually wash the rest of it into the ground. I haven't been very careful about the amounts applied, but I might suggest one to two tablespoons per inch of trunk diameter as a starting point. However, don't aspen leaves turn yellow in the fall anyway? Of course if they are turning yellow now, you should act.

I just started using it for a toe nail fungus which will take a long time to know if it works or not. Sorry, but I have no other experience with it other than what I've read about the product in general.

I have been successful with this. I applied to suckers over a year ago and they have not come back. It is the only thing that has worked for me. I used it on a flowering pear tree. Now this year I have had new suckers start and again I just applied and they are dead.

That is what I used it on Anne. I got fungus gnats from a soil I used and it was crazy! Never having dealt with them before I thought they were fruit flies until I read up about them. My violets were fine after I used it. I also used fly strips.

It works fine. That's what I bought it for. We have a sour cherry tree. Love this tool.

I use it on everything.. I mix it in with my potting soil when I use a planter.. I have not had any problems with that it seemed to work well.

According to page 16 of the label available here domyownpestcontrol dot com/msds/Adonis75WSP_speclabel dot pdf Dissolve one packet in at least 10 gallons of water and SOIL DRENCH: Uniformly apply the dosage in no less than 10 gallons of water per 1000 square feet as a drench around the base of the tree, directed to the root zone. Remove plastic or any other barrier that will stop solution from reaching the root zone. I spray it on the plant as well to kill any surface critters.

I don't think it would be a big problem if you watered it a few small times a day instrad of one big soaking. I love keeping mine on a plant caddy so I can roll it and chase the sun. And it'd be so worth it...a big green plant with bright cherry tomatoes look so pretty! You could also put it on a plant saucer just in case.

Dear Cara, Thank you for writing. I've checked Bonide's instructions for our Thuricide Caterpillar Control (#38-652) and Copper Fungicide RTU (#8586856); neither warns against applying both products to a plant within the same time frame. That said, I don't recommend mixing these products together. Please check with the manufacturer (bonide.com com) for further details. We appreciate your interest! Thanks for making Gardener's Supply your source for gardening products and information. Please let us know if we can help you with anything else. Sincerely, Darcy Customer Service

I don't see why not.. however an arborist would be a better source of info.. The only thing I would worry about is Leyland Cypress grow very fast and adding fertilizer to them may cause too fast a growth and a potential for weakness. as far as the systemic pesticide , maybe a topical or pure systemic pesticide would be better. if you're dealing with spider mites, the damage is done before you notice them.. but a good hosing with a high power nozzle yearly helps.. .

I am sorry not to be able to give an answer for you, Donnay. I have only used this on my hibiscus tree.

I have never used this as a soil drench. I have sprayed on top of soil with no ill effects. I would be cautious about soil drenching and check online for recommendations from people who have actually done soil drenching.

I have used it on both dogwood and cherry trees. Not a huge difference this year but look forward to seeing if better this spring as I had not fed them in a long time!

I do not know, I have only used the Garden Safe Fungicide3. I have been using it for years, and it seems to work in a variety of situations, so personally I will stick with it, why change if it works,right?

Never tried it for that, I recommend Safer brand organic Sulfur spray. You spray this organic sulfur liquid on you plants during the vegetation cycle a few times, and 2 weeks after your plants start to flower. Then no more. It makes the stem and plant mold and mildew free. Just do not spray on after the flowers or fruits begin to produce, as it can then effect the flavors... And mold and mildew have a tuff time growing in sunlight or use at least a 600 watt sodium bulb if indoors. Also this is an oil based extract and I would think it would not mix well with water to apply it to plants. good luck
