Without getting too embroiled in the subject. Sugar, Mollasses, Carbohydrate drenches, etc are a bacterial stimulant. Great for grasses and lower plant species but not real good for trees as they are fungally dominant. We have already in our landscapes bacterially dominant circumstances due to extensive grassed systems and unhealthy soils which prohibit the proliferation of fungal biomass.
