    Rare Grafted Elms

    I visited my hometown recently and my heart sank when I came over the hill and did not see this tree on the horizon. The new owners of this house have completely failed to recognize the significance of this tree, and appear to have gone on a wild tree cutting spree around the property. R.I.P

    Rare Grafted Elms

    I managed to uproot a small Wych elm before I fled Massachusetts last year haha, it was in the autumn and do to the stress it dropped its leaves early after potting it. I have tried several times to transplant a Wych elm over the last decade with no success but I think I am close this time! I...

    Potted American Elms?

    Thank you. Makes me kind of sad knowing I left this tree behind and I can not regularly see it anymore. On a positive note I managed to uproot a small Wych elm before I fled Massachusetts last year haha, it was in the autumn and do to the stress it dropped its leaves early after potting it. I...

    Potted American Elms?

    It has been 6 years since I acquired this tree, and 4 years since my last post about it. The last few years it spent its life in a 15 gallon tub because I could not come up with a place to plant it. Well I have decided to move from MA to FL and learn a whole new biodiversity. I can not bring my...

    No, because they were present before the application(s)

    Rare Grafted Elms

    Thanks for chiming in, I mostly knew all of what you had to say I have studied these trees extensively. I have even seen it grafted to its own native Wych Elm root stock here! The issue I am treating is leaf miner and trunk borers which have been so drastically reduced we were concerned about...

    Systemic Insecticide For Elm?

    Are you saying I overpaid @ $30/8oz? I applied it from the trunk in rings to the drip line with about 12 gallons of water, the ground was already wet underneath and I watered it down with the hose the following afternoon.

    Systemic Insecticide For Elm?

    Also the manual says to apply the dosage in no less then 10 gallons of water says nothing about too much water, assuming they mean the entire 8oz? Should I put the 7oz into 10 gallons of water?? "Soil Drench: Uniformly apply the dosage in no less than 10 gallons of water per 1000 square feet as...

    Systemic Insecticide For Elm?

    Will the rain waste my dosage? Will it have enough time to absorb it without dry sunlight? It's already getting late but we have had a harsh spring.

    Systemic Insecticide For Elm?

    Thanks bud! Your in MA too? Looks like there will only be 1oz left over I wonder if it would hurt to just use the entire bottle? Its a rainy weekend I was thinking of applying half the dose this weekend and let it soak down and the other half maybe later in the week when its sunny and dry?

    Systemic Insecticide For Elm?

    I wanted to apply this but I am confused...the bottle contents is 8oz. The directions say 0.1-0.2 fl oz (3-6ml) per inch of DBH, the tree has a circumference of 9 feet at breast height so that's about 2.8' DBH or 30" I need to multiply 30" by 0.1 or 0.2 fl oz...thinking the best way to go about...

    Back on it! To recap I used Bonide 2 years ago with good results, skipped last year and this year I am going to try this Garant 2F (maximum recommended dosage; probably entire bottle) will most likely apply it next week.

    BONIDE (imidacloprid) Elm Application? [BORERS?]

    Going to try something different this year I picked up Garant 2F, I think we did it around this time last year however this is the first week we have had with temperatures above freezing so far.

    Systemic Insecticide For Elm?

    Got it, I would rather use the largest dose I can (entire bottle if permitted). I think we did it around this time last year however this is the first week we have had with temperatures above freezing so far.

    Systemic Insecticide For Elm?

    Well I was referring to the "high-med-low" treatment rates, I do not know what "rate" is best for my tree.

    Systemic Insecticide For Elm?

    Circumference at breast height is 10-feet so the DBH is around 3-feet. That means it falls within the 40" medium treatment rate for an 8oz bottle, sounds good right? I will just give it the entire bottle in 1 dose.

    Systemic Insecticide For Elm?

    8oz bottle of Xytect is $50 the same as 8oz of Merit....but you think I will need a quart for a treatment or will 8oz be enough?
