Question TRIDENT MAPLE pesticide

Please recommend a SAFE AND EFFECTIVE systemic pesticide for Trident Maples. Preferably a brand that someone has used for years and is proven. Thanks again!!

For what pests?
Look at the Provado range, they are a good range of products and use well known chemicals in the industry at slightly lower levels for the amateur.

systemic??? which one???

pests are scale, aphids, and mites. I forgot where i read that a systemic works best for trident maples. I believe the reason for not using a spray had something to do with damaging the leaves. thanks again

We use Disyston, but it has been pulled from noncommercial use. Try a 3 and 1 spray, Ortho for example, if you are worried about mites and fungus. A systemic like merit works well, we have sprayed with it in the past, we are using granules this year. it is not restricted. Don't generally get too many pests on tridents in our neck of the woods.


With tridents if you are worried about leaf burn or the plant is too dense to get to
the stems where the critters are, then defoliate if otherwise healthy.

I would suggest that you take specific pest questions to your local Extension horticulture person or the master gardener volunteers. Good luck,
John
