Hi,

I saw a few men wearing the hat on the website...no women wore it.
You're right about the hat! I can see how it made finding your tour
guide easier. :-)

FWIW, I couldn't resist and bought the $23.00 bottle. I figure getting
one small sample wasn't enough to see any noticable change in a plant.
I'm going to try it on one of my Japanese maples that has been
suffering from some branch die back this season and last. It might be
verticillium or just the overall health of the tree that's in
question. We'll see.

I have used the hat a few times for working outside. I still have it, so
maybe I should listen to Jim a post a pic of myself with it. Those hats
actually did come to good use when we got to Tokyo. When we went to the
Ginza district, we could never seem to find our tour guide. She was shorter
than most of the people around her, so she disappeared quickly. We were able
to get her to wear it once or twice after that.


They gave me about six little free samples of it that were a little larger
than a thimble full. From their suggested dilution rate, I would guess that
would last about six months on my fairly small collection of trees.

I am not the type of person to be scientifically accurate when it comes to
testing things such as this. I will give it a try on a few of my plants and
see how it does. If the results aren't noticeable after a few months, then I
won't bother with it any more.
