Question Has anyone tried this product?

I found a 2oz. bottle of SUPERthrive at my mothers house. From what the paper work say's it's good for bonsai. I don't want to use it if it's going to hurt any of my trees.

Superthrive works for me

I've been using Superthrive for years and think it's very helpful, particularly when repotting. I spray the rootball with a diluted mixture of Superthrive/water as soon as I cut back the roots, then repot. Then I don't water for a couple of days (depending on tree type, temperature, etc.) I use Superthrive on all recently repotting trees, and any trees with a problem.

Some very respected people in the field think that this can be problematic with some pines, and definately recommend that it's not used more than just a drop or 2 per gal of water at best. Some swear by it, others believe it snakeoil. Many many trees get by without it, save the money for something that you do need.
