That is very cool :) I imagine it probably wouldn't be good for him though, so maybe put the tree in another drip tray whilst you treat it, and put another tree in that one so you don't bother him any :P

Make sure you follow the saftey instructions if you use rogor, that stuff can be dangerous if not used correctly (dust mask, etc) :yes:
Have a question? The AusBonsai Wiki most likely has the answer!

Well there you go! Thanks for that Pup, I have a few in my yard too and am always paranoid about where I spray because of them

Always worried about creating some teenage mutant frogs or something ;) :lol:

well don't let word out the Rogor is a frog aphrodisiac! Otherwise they'll all want some ... :lol:

Heaven help us if the Cane Toads get a hold of this ... :o

Haha, I will report back here if I get plagues of frogs or ninja frogs. I hope cane toads never make it to Perth although if they do make it my golf skills would probably improve immensely.
