OK to use a 3/16" drill bit to drill 45-degree angles up to 5/8" deep into the trunk of the tree.
Make sure you clean out each hole by running the drill and pushing and pulling out the drill bit to clean out the debris.
Drill 8 holes around the trunk of the tree about 6-12" from the ground if the tree is 4 inches or larger.
The 45 degree angle is to utilize the capillary action in the tree to feed the whole tree. If the tree is less than 4" in diameter only drill 4 holes into the trunk of the tree.
Use the pipette that shipped with the product and apply about 1 ml per hole per day to each hole. Apply so the product does not overfill hole and run down the tree.
You can seal up the holes with only a natural product, do not use paint or petroleum-based sealant. Some people have had good luck with beeswax.
You can apply black knot be gone any time the tree is absorbing nutrients up through the root system, early spring to late fall. The best time is any time you see the black knot disease on the tree and then again in early spring for preventative protection. The tree is the most susceptible as the fungus spores are airborne in the early spring.
