Abstract
A method is provided for feeding a liquid material to a tree by using a liquid feeding apparatus which has a container body. A selected branch or root of the tree has bifurcated offshoots which are cut in a manner such that the bifurcated offshoots partially remain with the branch or root, and the liquid feeding apparatus is attached to the branch or root in a manner such that the remaining bifurcated offshoots are inserted into the container body. In this condition, the liquid material is supplied into the container body from a liquid storage tank while expelling air from the container body.
