Tree Nutri Product Application for Distressed Trees without

Tree Nutri Product Application
For Distressed Trees without Obstructions
1. Establish a circle around the tree that closely resembles the tree’s drip line (the middle circle in Fig. 1).
2. After the drip line circle has been identified, use the Tree Nutri™ Hydrojet to “drill” one hole every 1.5-2.0 feet on
the circumference of the circle.
a. Each hole should be 8-10 inches deep, with the diameter being roughly 1 inch.
3. Once the holes have been drilled, apply 2 ounces of Tree Nutri to each hole via the Tree Nutri™ Funnel.
4. After filling all holes in the drip line circle, repeat steps 2 through 3 for a circle 1.5 feet outside of the drip line
circle.
a. Each hole should optimally be offset by about 1.5 feet from the holes in the drip line circle.
5. Proceed to follow steps 2 through 3 for a circle 1.5 feet inside the drip line circle.
The following table shows the number of holes that would need to be drilled for a tree with a drip line 10 feet from the
trunk (as illustrated in Fig. 1):

For Trees in Severe Distress without Obstructions
If the tree is in severe distress, it is recommended to drill one to two more circles within the inner most circle, following steps 2 through 3 as above. Most active tree roots are found within 1.5 feet inward and outward of the drip line. To
maximize effectiveness, Tree Nutri needs to be applied near as many active root tips as possible in this range to stimulate
accelerated mitosis. The additional treatment holes are usually deemed necessary when trees are in severe distress, as it
is likely the tree’s root tips have receded well inside the drip line.
