Cleaning out around the house I found some HB-101, which their website says to dilute 1000 to 1 and spray on bonsai foliage once a week year round.

Does anybody have experience with this?

I think it would be pointless to spray it on deciduous trees after the leaves come off. What about evergreens?

Ivan;
After killing a beautiful old Ume (Japanese Flowering Plum) after spraying it with foliar fertilizer, I swore I would never ever use foliar again.
And I will not.
Ever.

HB101 is asworn by additive to water for sickly plants in my clubs. Not sure whether it works, but a few of the old members swear it works. It is fairly harmless.

I won't try it...

It is not a foliar fertiliser in traditional sense. And at a dilution of 1:1000*One drop per litre) it is fine.

OK, I will use it on half of the trees and see what happens. I have a large number of elms from the time I thought the seeds might not sprout, so they will be the first sacrificial goats.

I will report what they look like next year, if I think about it.

Intermediate status:

I said I would go for a year. In the meantime here is what I did. I have two multi tree pots, one elm and one pine. The trees all get pretty uniform water, sun, and fertilizer, so I sprayed the trees (and weeds) on the left side of the two pots. A great experiment with decent controls.

After three weeks, the weeds and grass growing on the left are doing very nicely, much better than the grass on the right. The elms may be doing a little better, with maybe a little more leaves and a little healthier appearance.

The pine tree on the left is dropping needles, turning brown and not looking happy. The other two are growing new needles. I am going to stop spraying the pine trees because it seems to be killing them (which sounds like what Clicio said). I am also going to stop spraying the grass and the weeds. I don't really want them to be all that strong.

I also sprayed the tomatoes. They are doing great.

Experimenter's required statement: no animals were harmed in the conduct of this experiment.
