How much Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench should be used for a multiple trunk Banyan tree totaling 60

Answer:

The Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench label states: TREES WITH 2 OR MORE TRUNKS: Measure the distance (in inches) around each tree trunk and add together. Multiply this total by 0.75 to get the required number of ounces of this product to apply. 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.  This would mean you would need 45 ounces of product for a multi trunk tree with a collective measurement of 60 inches. For trees with circumference greater than 50”, use 2 gallons of water, carefully measure required amount of product into bucket, and slowly pour the solution evenly around the tree. For best results, pour as close to the trunk/main stem of the tree/shrub as possible.  Lastly, fill the bucket with clean water and pour it around the trunk as well.
