The tree was dissected and examined 7 days after application. The inert dye had penetrated the center of the tree within 7 days and the inert dye had also been transported throughout the tree’s vascular system as evidenced by the dye being found 24 feet up into the canopy of the tree. Translocation of systemic pesticides primarily occurs in the cambial zone.  How much spray solution is required to treat a tree generally with the basal bark application method, applied from ground level to 5 feet up the trunk circumference?
