Would RecommendI've been using Bayer, Tree, and Shrub Protect, and Feed and most recently purchased a 32oz container. I have Oleanders and they have been attacked and slowly dying, however, I purchased a container several months ago used it on three of the fifteen oleanders and they look amazingly healthy. They are all white flower plants that are susceptible to this .... insect. So, I'm going to continue to use BioAdvanced Tree and Shrub hoping that I can save my expensive landscape here in cental Phoenix.

instructions??
I often go to websites to read the instructions for use. This site refers you to read the label for how to dilute the concentrate appropriately. The print on the bottle is always so small on this type of product, that now I am in a vicious cycle of trying to get the instructions.

I am sorry to hear that. Here is a link to the product website. You may click on the "Explore" tab and then on "Labels" to view the full product label...
works great and easy to use
Would RecommendThis works great. I have a 60 foot poplar tree in my yard that gets aphids almost every year. I use the recommended amount mixed with 5 gallons of water The bucket has 1/8" holes drilled in the bottom so that the solution drains slowly at the base of the tree and soaks into the ground. Aphids disappear in a week or so and don't return all year.
That is great to hear! Thank you for sharing! -James

Understand the markings on the cap
Would RecommendEasy to apportion among trees with filler cap as measuring guide; although cap markings are initially hard to interpret. I formerly used the solid granules, which apparently are no longer available. It will take a few months to see if the desired effects take hold in sufficient quanitity.
Excellent! Thank you so much for your review! We look forward to hearing more about your results! Jessica

White for infestation
I bought this product 6 months ago and I have seen a significant decrease in white flies on my Indian Laurel ficus. Unfortunately the white fly has returned. Would I be able to re apply or do I need to wait the entire 12 months?
From BioAdvanced
Excellent! For an active infestation you may go ahead and reapply but that would need to be your one application for the 2021 season. Jessica
Keeps trees & shrubs healthy
Would RecommendWe have been using this tree & shrub product for years. No spraying. Add to water and pour around roots. It is applied to our large trees in Fall to allow the systemic fluid time to reach all the branches/twigs to prevent insect damage. It prevents wooly adelgid damage to our Eastern Hemlock tree and insect damage to our Pioneer Elm and Black Tupelo trees. We apply this to our shrubs in Spring. It kills the scale that typically grows each year on our Hinoki Cyrpress shrubs. Great product!

Hibiscus shrubs bug free for 8 months
Would RecommendI applied your Bioadvanced Shrub and Tree, 12 month granules 8 months ago on my hibiscus shrubs. Your product worked great, allowing our hibiscus to thrive, insect free. I noticed the insects are starting to return. Can I reapply your product after just 8 months? We live in Hawaii with lots of sun and moderate rainfall in our area. Thank you.
From BioAdvanced
Excellent! I am so pleased that you have had such great results! If you currently have an active infestation you may go ahead and reapply but that wou...
Instructions
I have the 32 oz concentrate. It is a bad design when the instructions peel off the bottle. AND the bottle has no direct link on a website to find instruction.

Question
If this treatment is absorbed by root system and protects the tree from inside out, it means that the poison will be as well in the flowers and fruits of the tree? I have avocado tree with leave Lace bug damage. Sounds like, it would be a good treatment for the tree, but the flowers would be poisonous for bees and fruits for humans? Or not?
From BioAdvanced
BioAdvanced products (including those containing imidacloprid or clothianidin) do not adversely impact bee colony health when used according to label ...
Great product

That is terrific to hear John! We look forward to helping you keep your trees and shrubs healthy and thriving for years to come!
Question
I've used the liquid version of this product on my ficus whiteflys and its worked fantastic. This year I tried the granules because I have a longer hedge to cover and it was easier to apply. Should the granules be as effective as the liquid? How long until I start to see the results?
From BioAdvanced
Hello Rob! Both the liquid concentrate and the granules use the same active ingredients to control listed pests. Both are equally effective in the con...
A product that is needed here!
In 2019 and 2020 I used BioAdvanced Tree & Shrub to prevent ash bore beetle from invading my ash tree. It is effective for 12 months, but I am wondering if it is advisable to treat my tree every 6 months to increase protection for this ash tree, since ash bore beetle is rampant in my area now. I used this product in the fall of 2019 & 2020 and my ash tree looks very healthy now.
From BioAdvanced
That is amazing to hear! I am so glad that you have been able to save your ash trees! The product does have a 12 month residual so it would not be nec...
Very good for what intended
This worked well to rid the aphids on my oleanders. I used it on my artichoke that had terrible ants that I understand meant something else unwanted. Took care of that problem. New problem: My artichoke is not edible because I poisoned the soil. QUESTION: How long, if ever, will my soil be suitable to use for edible plants? Thank you.
From BioAdvanced
Thank you so much for sharing your results Dawna! Since the product has already been applied to your artichoke I would recommend not eating the artich...
How much should I Use?
I have two large Hibiscus bushes. One is 7 feet tall and the other is 8 feet. The instructions say multiply the height in feet and multiply by 3 to determine how many ounces of product to mix with a gallon of water. This instruction is saying mix 21 ounces of product for one and 24 ounces for the other. This can't be right. What is the correct amount?
From BioAdvanced
That would be the correct amount for the shrubs to mix with 1 gallon of water. Shrubs grow out as well as up so it is important to apply the proper am...
Saved scale infested Crotons
This product is absolutely amazing. The scale on my Croton plants was so bad (before I noticed it) that it had lost most of its leaves. One dose of this product and as if by magic, the scale was gone and the plants are thriving! What I would like to ask is, are there any plants that it shouldn’t be used on? (Besides all edible plants). I have been fighting worms on my potted bougainvillea, hibiscus and Light bulb tree ((Clerodendrum Smithianum) and wondered if I can use it on those potted plant...
From BioAdvanced
Perfect! I am so pleased that you have found a reliable product that is so easy to use! Thank you so much for sharing!
Use near vegetables?
I recently treated two ash trees, as I have been doing for several years. This year, after treating them, I realized that I had planned to plant a vegetable, herb and spice garden in part of the treated area. Will they be safe to eat? I should add that BioAdvanced has saved my ash trees, when compared with my neighbor's ash trees.
From BioAdvanced
I am so pleased that you were able to save your ash trees Paul! The product is not formulated for use on edibles so we would recommend keeping the edi...
Excellent! We look forward to helping you keep your oleanders healthy and bug free Sophie! Jessica
