Hi,

I will ask my brother inlaw.  He is a farmer and licensed to use  
herbicide/pesticide/fungicide.  He may know.

My problem now is that the apple sprayer on the farm died last fall.  It  
is an antique, and without a sprayer, just spraying the dwarfs and not the  
standards, will be useless.  Bagging the dwarfs may be my only option.

The issue with Surround may be equipment.  I believe you need a high  
pressure sprayer, and tank agitators to keep the superfine clay from  
settling out.

If it matters....  It changes the tree's appearance to dusty/dirty white.   
It is a physical barrier.

I will check with the local Co-op too.

Later,
Tom
