I have a very tall two headed Livistona chinensis that I just noticed has fungus inside the crown on one of the heads.  I am used to treating my palms with copper fungicide but haven't ever had to treat one that is this tall so I was wondering what the best way to get the fungicide into a very tall palm that I cannot access with a pump sprayer and a ladder.  I was wondering if the copper can be mixed with a hose end sprayer and sprayed up into the crown or if there is another way it can be done.   Thank you.

There are several long sprayer extensions over 20' but cost over $100.  My sprayer has a pinhole attachment that will spray 20-30' and you could hit the spear and let run down or it would be ok to mix in a hose end sprayer as well.
