As stated, I'm looking to begin a simple spraying regiment for the full size trees that I've been reclaiming on the land we purchased five years ago. So far as I can tell, the minimum plan should include dormant oil, then Captan/Imidan at the specified times. My question is application rate, and in particular how much dormant oil will be required. Guidance suggests complete coverage of the stems. They range in size from 12' to OMG get a ladder truck. Does anyone have experience spraying older, wild trees that are not well pruned (albeit having tried...)? How many gallons should I plan on per tree? I'm looking for a rough estimate, of course, as well as whether it's worth doing at all if I know that I can't achieve complete coverage. Thanks for the advice!
