We pulled out 5 trees with a monster truck fitted with a v8 that was the easy way lol

Use the soluble concentrate and brush it on that way you can target what you want,don't use the spray gun one.

Also a lot of plants are self pollinating (self fertile) they possess both male and female organs (stigma & anthers) the stigma is a little slower growing within the flower and has to push its way through the anthers(pollen carriers) picking up the pollen often the flower is fertilized before it...

You can just buy an orchard pack. This site sells fruit trees in packs of 6 or 16 as maidens, bushes or half standards where the varieties have all been chosen to make sure you get a long fruiting season and everything that needs a pollinator has one.Good luck

creosote will need household amonia to shift it, a generouse slug in boiling water with fairy liquid, scrub it.
