easy to use
Would RecommendThe ease with which this product is administered to my trees is great! However, since outcomes of treatment take several weeks, it is too early to know how well it works in protecting my pine trees, hence only a 4 star rating. Can I rate this product again after several months when it's effectiveness should be evident?

Works on Japanese Beetles
Put on my Hibiscus and no more nasty Japanese Beetles. I was wondering if this would work on Swamp Milkweed to prevent the yellow aphids or would it harm the monarch caterpillars or the adult monarch butterfly?

Works on pines and crepe myrtles
Would RecommendHave used this for aphids on crepe myrtle trees with great success. No more weeping aphid poop while trying to enjoy sitting under a tree. Also have used it on loblolly pines tree to stop borers. If you use the product at the first sign of borers you can save the tree. So far I have saved 6 pine trees. Wished I would have known about it earlier as I could have saved many other trees.

Great product!
Been buying this stuff for several years now. (Used to be called "Bayer" - apparently now goes by Bio-Advanced. Same color container - same size. Used to be called Tree & Shrub, now it's just "Tree." Anyway, it's not cheap - but it really works. Got rid of my whitefly issue on Gardenias and I also use it on Japanese Blueberry trees. No more insect problems!

Did not work in oak trees
I bought it and use my oak trees for few years. The trees died this year due to algaecide. So I don’t think it works. Used area North texas

Worked for us (Coastal Pacific Northwest)!
Would RecommendWe had unknown tiny caterpillars devastating our ornamental redleaf trees - finally found BioAdvantage Tree & Shrub Protect & Feed in July, and within weeks our trees (including some bushes and an ornamental cherry tree that we dosed) were doing significantly better, noticeably recovered by “fall cleanup” of our landscaping. Bought more to be ready to get a timely start next Spring!,

Works, but a bit expensive
Would RecommendThis definitely worked for our larger tree, clearing the disease, but i find that instructions are somewhat lacking for smaller/younger trees.

Did NOT kill the scale as promised
Treated a month ago, followed directions exactly.. The good: lots of new green growth on branches where a scale infestation was destroying my pyracantha. The bad: doesn't seem to have done anything to get rid of the scale, so all it did was provide more food for them.
