white pines?

[hl_tree]

I had to make an application of Cambistat the other day to a bunch of weeping white pines that varied between 1.5 and 6.5" diameter. I called Rainbow to ask for some pointers as they only list "pines" without any type of breakdown. I went with 15% of the recommended rate, but I'd like to hear what you guys have to say on the subject for reductions and so forth.

Why did you go with 15% of the recommended rate? We use cambistat on live oaks on some golf courses down here. Seems to work with the complete PHC.

I was trying to envision full sized white pines of that size, and I figured I had to keep it under 25%. I figure if I came in too low, I can always add. If I put down too much they are gonna look funky for 3 years.

Just curious, hl. What was the reason for the application of Cambistat on these weeping white pines?

Getting a bit crowded for the way that they were planted... plus they don't look so hot.
