The goal is to spray the same amount over all the areas. You still don t want to spray so much that enough builds up to drip off of the leaves.

Lots of people just have a stake on one side of the tree, but this is not a good practice because it generally doesn t allow for further growth of the tree. You should only be staking your tree if you think that wind and other forces might be literally moving the ball of roots within the ground.

Sometimes you ll even need a ladder to reach all segments of the trees. The entire process can take as long as four hours if you have several large trees. Doing this every 2 weeks can get very tiresome and irritating.
