Hi,
I just moved into Berks county and this weekend I found 5 trees of heaven on my two acre wooded lot that are COVERED in lantern flies. Due to finances of the move and such I am not in a position to have the trees cut down this year but would love to poison the little buggers. I started looking on line at the most affordable way to treat the trees with systemic insecticide. I found types you pour on the roots and plastic packets you pound in holes drilled into the tree. All of the trees are surrounded by other types of trees, I am sure the roots are intermeshed so I don’t know how effective, or how much the pour on stuff would actually be absorbed by the tree I am aiming for.
Here is the link to the in the pound in the tree variety for insecticide . I would appreciate any advice on how to move forward with lantern fly destruction in an effective, least expensive, and least damaging way to the ecosystem.

This was my favorite ID book and it covers the most common species across the nation. Great illustrations.

I second u/WhoolieAdelgid Watch your shit with spraying in the wind, even if you don't think it's toxic. The danger is rarely one exposure, with most chemicals it comes from working around it for a long period and getting incidental amounts of exposure every day.
When planting the most important thing, IMHO, is to do a quick root inspection around the root flare and keep an eye out for obvious girdling roots. At the sapling stage these are easy to correct and spot but can cause real problems later. And don't put gravel in the bottom, it doesn't tend to improve drainage in most soils. Even though you don't need to worry about a perched water table the same as potted plants, it can still happen depending on soil conditions.
I say all this having no idea how much you already know, I highly recommend browsing the Arborist Study Guide if you feel like there are gaps in your knowledge, this is a handy free one online.

What state are they located in?
This my favorite gardening tool. It is always on my belt and used for digging, planting, and weeding. This particular one has a quality sheath and full tang blade.

gun nut and motorcycle nut. I buy a ton of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000DZF7T6/
Cheap enough that if I lose a set, i won't get upset, but they are good enough that I can still hear, but protects my hearing from wind noise while riding, and gunfire when shooting.
Having extras is always a good idea, last time I was on a group ride, one of the riders forgot his and was getting windblown, so I gave him a set.
Were are you located? I think most states in the US have agricultural extensions that offer outreach programs, classes, etc. It was originally geared towards commercial growers/foresters, but they're very friendly to the hobbyist in my experience.
A book i've seen recommended everywhere (which i've yet to buy myself) is the Grafters Handbook.
Photo of your computer screen lacks the image quality, link the original image.
This is a good book that will help you get information your looking for.

You can also find a vast amount of information online either via government websites or ngo
Such as:

Also lots of tree climbing/arborist groups on the Facebook. Instagram is filled with arborists sharing knowledge as well. Reddit is kind of lacking in the arborist world. Hard to Reddit in trees.
Looks like scale, you can scrub most of them off gently and then treat the tree with *horticultural & neem oils to avoid future infestation.
This stuff plus neem oil, (double trouble lol) add both to water and spray the frack out of the tree with it every few days to week or so till its under control.

Trees in Canada is pretty much the standard reference for any forest professionals in Ontario. Covers all your native and naturalized species. You may need another source for non-native ornamentals and landscape species, if you commonly encounter them.
I am just getting started into grafting myself. I'll tell you how it turns out in several years. I did get this book, and it is very informative.
