I have a 12 foot high ficus hedge with trunks ranging 2 to 4 inches in diameter every 1 to 2 feet apart. When using instructions, the amount to apply seems preposterously large. With estimated average circumference of 9 inches (3 inch diameter trunk), instructions ask for slightly more than 2 cups (2.25 cups) per tree. With 60 trees, this works out to over 120 cups. Is this calculation correct or should we apply a different amount to shrubs with overlapping roots?
Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II Granules is more for small home owner applications and would be very expensive over larger areas as those rates are correct for trees.
