BioAdvanced 12 Month Tree Protect & Feed Concentrate II - 1 GAL

In this review of the BioAdvanced 12 Month Tree Protect & Feed Concentrate II, the bottom line is straightforward: this product is for property owners who need long-term, low-effort protection for valuable shade and ornamental trees. The reviewer found the concentrate especially useful where systemic control and lasting prevention matter - a single application claims to protect trees from the roots to the leaves for up to a year, while the slow-release fertilizer helps stressed trees recover. If you want a season-long insect control method without repeated sprays, this concentrate is the primary candidate.

Key Features

• 12 month protection: One application is designed to kill listed insects and prevent new infestations for up to a year, reducing repeat treatments.
• Insect and pest control: The formula targets a wide range of pests including aphids, leafminers, whiteflies, Japanese beetles, Emerald Ash Borers, caterpillars, adelgids and soft scale.
• Systemic protection: The concentrate is taken up by the roots and distributed through the tree to protect stems and leaves rather than relying on surface contact only.
• Slow-release fertilizer: Built-in fertilizer feeds trees over time to improve overall health and resilience after application.
• No spraying required: The concentrate format means application does not depend on foliar spraying, which can be easier for larger trees and reduces drift concerns.

Who It's For

The product suits homeowners, arborists, and property managers who want durable, systemic insect protection for established shade or ornamental trees and prefer a single seasonal application. It is particularly helpful for trees at risk from Emerald Ash Borer or recurring sap-sucking pests where root uptake can deliver season-long coverage.

Those who should look elsewhere include users seeking immediate contact kill for occasional garden plants, or gardeners who prefer organic-only controls; this concentrate is a conventional pesticide and is intended for landscape trees rather than small potted plants or vegetables.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Provides long-lasting control that can eliminate the need for multiple seasonal treatments.
• Targets a broad list of tree pests, including serious threats like Emerald Ash Borer and Japanese beetles.
• Systemic action protects the whole tree from roots to leaves for more reliable coverage.
• Built-in slow-release fertilizer improves tree vigor while treating pests.

Cons

• Not appropriate for users seeking organic products or for application on small garden plants.
• As a concentrate for seasonal application, timing and correct application are important to achieve the advertised 12 month protection.
