Q.Japanese beetles on my trees
I have a Crabapple tree and a Weeping Cherry tree. I want to know what to put on them or feed them to deter the Japanese beetles. I’ve heard there is something you can feed the trees through the roots and it will stop the Japanese beetles from attacking them.
There are a few things you can do. One of which is to treat your lawn for grubs. The grubs often found in the lawn are the grubs of Japanese beetles and this will help reduce their population before it starts.

The mixture you asked about will help some as well. This article has some other suggestions: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/japanese-beetles.htm
