number of feet by 3 – this is the number of ounces of product to add
to 1 gallon of water.
Pour the required product into sucient water to wet the potting
soil thoroughly. To help assure that roots absorb the insecticide, do
not water too heavily for the rst 10 days.

Measure the distance in inches around each tree trunk at
approximately 4.5 feet from ground level, add together, and multiply
by 0.75. This measurement is the number of ounces of product to
add to one gallon of water.
Example: A tree has 4 trunks. They measure 20, 10, 5, and 5 (inches)
or a total of 40 inches. 40 x 0.75 = 30 ounces, pour 30 ounces of
product into one gallon of water. If 50 or more ounces of product
