Review: WOW! What an AMAZING DIFFERENCE = WORKS!! - After YEARS!, I mean YEARS of what I learned last year was ‘Scale’ growing on my mum’s Japanese Magnolia Trees (2) (see the pic = YUCK!) I did some research, and learned about this product. Initially, I tried to treat the plant using just diluted Neem Oil spray. Unfortunately, the treatment did more damage than good (when treating w/Neem oil it really has to be diluted or it will burn the plant’s leaves, etc..).. Apparently, all I needed to do was get this stuff, Shake out a bit and scatter it around the base of the trees. The way this product works, is that the product sits at the base of the plant, and when watered, the product then soaks into the ground and the plant then uptakes the product into its system, and when the pests (scale, gnats, aphids, etc..), attack the plant, they basically get a mouth full of YUCK!🤮 and either die or go away. DO NOT USE WHEN RAINING! as the product will not soak into the ground and treat that specific plant, but instead, it will go where ever the water goes and potentially contaminate your garden and any edible plants growing nearby, and you DO NOT want to EAT anything treated by this product! I figured “Meh, Why Not?!” I’ll give it a try at least, at approx. $23USD, it was well worth it to try. Around February, I had my mum (82yo) treat the trees, which consisted of just shaking out the designated amount of product and tossing It around underneath both trees. I stated her age to emphasize that anyone can use this product, it’s that easy to use. By March, both of her Japanese Magnolia trees put out blooms like they had not in YEARS! I mean they were GORGEOUS! We had neighbors comment on how beautiful the trees were. All that, compared to previous years, where both trees were sickly, covered in leaves, but few if any blooms, and almost every joint in the trees had these yellow black ‘lumps’. I now know the ‘lumps’ were ‘scale’, and the black stuff was likely black soot/fungus. We live with some tall trees behind us/on our east side and the trees although located further out in the yard, probably both were infected by the black soot being in the air/drifting on the wind and landing on the trees. But, after this treatment, all GONE! *smiles*😁👍🏼 I HIGHLY RECOMMEND You try this product on ANY “NON-Edible” plant. Do NOT use on ANYTHING You plan to EAT! Because, this product works by your plant up-taking it into the plant itself and distributing it throughout the plant’s roots, stems, leaves, blooms/fruit, etc... Also, You only need to make sure to use this product far enough in advance of Spring/Summer that the plant has time enough to up-take it and distribute it internally. BEST OF ALL, You only need to use this product ONCE every YEAR!! (12mths!) ••••> PRO’s: •••••• • EASY USE - Just Shake it out and distribute it under the plant at the base. • PESTS / Lots! = This product treats a WIDE VARIETY of plant pests and disease(s). • QUANTITY / Lasts! = Depending upon the area/plants you wish to treat, it really only takes a little bit of product. Plus, as You only need to apply the product ONCE YEARLY, a little bit goes a long way, and the container size should last you a long time. • ANNUALLY = You only need to apply this product ONCE YEARLY! • COST = The approx $23 cost is minimal when you consider the quantity you get, along with the amount of product needed to treat a plant, considering all of that, the price is cheap! ••••> CON’s: ••••• • TOXIC = This product is toxic enough that it should NOT be used on ANY plant that produces Edible Produce/Fruit. Because the plant up-takes the product into ALL parts of the plant, the stem, leaves, blooms/fruit, so that anything edible will be full of this toxic product, not edible and toxic if eaten. • CONTAMINATION = MUST be applied to plant at base on a dry day, because otherwise, the product will spread to where ever the water it sits in travels and can potentially contaminate other plants that produce edible fruit/produce, making it in edible or if eaten, potentially poison whomever eats it. • TIMING = Must be applied early enough before Spring/Summer that the plant has time to up-take the product into itself internally and distribute it through out itself. ••••> OVERALL OPINION: ••••• Overall I feel this is a GREAT product to use and try, it worked WONDERS to completely cure two very over run and sickly Japanese Magnolia Trees, which are now producing Gorgeous Blooms! And, I no longer feel bad/guilty, because the trees look so bad/sickly (& I don’t have to worry about the scale spreading to our other plants!!) Unfortunately, I do not have any of the pics from the trees blooming this year, because I waited too long and there has been so much rain, BUT, I’ll try to update with pics next time they bloom, to show you just how gorgeous the tree and blooms are now, all cured, green lush and entirely covered in beautiful purple flowers!😁👍🏼

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone have a guess/know how many cups are in the 10lb packaging?  They say to use 1/4 cup per inch of trunk.  Thanks**
A: There would be approximately 8 cups of granules in a 4 pound container. A 10 pound container would have approximately 20 cups of product.

**Q: can this be used on pecan trees**
A: and here is a follow up from this web page...http://www.bayeradvanced.com/tree-shrub-care/products/12-month-tree-shrub-protect-feed/questions-answersCan Bayer Advanced™ 12 Month Tree & Shrub Protect & Feed Ready-To-Use Granules be used on any edible crops?Listed fruit and nut trees are as follows: Apple, Loquat, Oriental Pear, Pecan, Crabapple, Mayhaw, Pear and Quince.

**Q: I have three large oaks with big diameters.  One 65, 70, 75.  I much of this do I need to spread around each tree?**
A: First of all, make sure you measure the tree "circumference" at a height of 4.5 feet above the ground.  Secondly, you list your measurements as diameters. If these are truly 65, 70 and 75 inch diameters, the circumferences these would equate to 204 inches, 220 inches and 236 inches respectively and your trees are large enough to be considered national, or at least regional treasures. If your tress are 65, 70 and 75 inches "around the tree" at 4.5 feet off the ground, which is the measurement needed to calculate the application rate, the amounts to spread around each tree, in "cups" (at the rate of 1/4 cup per inch of circumference) are:
16.25 cups for the 65 inch tree
17.50 cups for the 70 inch tree
and
18.75 cups for the 75 inch tree.
The granules are to spread around 2 feet out from the trunk of the tree.
I imagine it will take at least a month from the first rain after application for protection to begin for your trees so this will need to be completed soon. I'm guessing that each 10 pounds of this material is packaged in a container that is around one gallon in volume so at 16 cups per gallon you will need at least three containers of granules to treat your trees. Expensive, but trees this size are becoming less common and are a valuable addition to your landscape and add greatly to the value of your home.

If you are indeed reporting diameters, the application rates would be 54, 55 and 59 cups respectively for the calculated circumferences your trees.

**Q: What is the active ingredient? It is not listed in the description. Nor can it be read from the label image.**
A: The active ingredient listed on the bottle is Imidacloprid (1.1%) with other miscellaneous ingredients comprising 98.9% of the formula.  Nutrients are derived from polymer coated sulfur coated urea, potassium chloride and ammonium phosphate.  N-K-P ratio is 2-1-1.
