I have dogs and would prefer to root drench for pruned flowering cherry and plum trees. Is root drench effective. If not I have a hose end sprayer and PPE. I can reach the top of the canopy with sprayer if this is the only effective method of application.
Clearys 3336F Fungicide is not labeled for any drench application on fruit trees it is only applied directly to the foliage as directed on the product label. The rate given for cherry and plum trees is for larger areas, given per acre at the rate of 22.5 oz per acre in 100 gallons which breaks down to 1.41 tsp per gallon. You could use a hose end sprayer to apply Clearys 3336F as long as you can properly calibrate it to spray the recommended amount of product per gallon of water, though it is not as accurate as using a pump/backpack sprayer.
