Doctoring Trees
Your trees - regardless of species or age - are responsible for providing your property with many valuable benefits such as beauty, shade, and curb appeal leading to increased real estate value. That said the last thing you want is to take the risk of them becoming sick or dying, right? Thankfully, there is a system of treating your trees called tree injection, or RX injections for you to try.
Tree injections are becoming increasingly popular within the United States as an efficient method of introducing nutrients, insecticides, fungicides and antibiotics into your tree’s vascular system in order to prevent or control a variety of diseases and insect infestations. The injected chemicals are introduced into shallow trunk wounds around the base of your tree and are then systematically distributed throughout.
The top ten insect infestations and/or diseases which negatively impact Arizona tree’s include:
-
Borers
-
Bark Beetles
-
Spider Mites
-
Scale Insects
-
Phytophthora Root Rot
-
Canker Disease
-
Moisture Stress
-
Heat Stress
-
Nutrient Deficiencies
-
Salt Toxicity in the Soil
To obtain the best results when performing tree injections, many factors need to be considered, including the diseased tree still being alive and proper diagnosis being rendered. For many common tree diseases, tree injection may provide protection, but only if administered at the proper time - usually early on into the disease - and in the proper manner.
It bears repeating, that while tree injections provide a competitive edge over alternative methods, they are only effective if the disease being treated is detected early on. That is why periodic inspections by certified arborists are essential for detecting problems before they reach damaging levels. Anytime treatment is necessary, Branch Management Tree Service can apply tree injections, to help promote your tree’s health.
In addition, we at Branch Management Tree Service, utilize an integrated approach to doctoring your trees anytime any of the aforementioned ailments negatively impact your trees.
