Pesticides injected into fruit trees can't be washed off fruits, so they can't be eaten. Different pesticides, fungicides, or even nutrients can be injected below the bark of the tree - giving longer lasting protection. By systemically injecting the appropriate product for your tree's problem, over spray and drift is eliminated. Highly concentrated doses are carried up, and dispersed within the tree - protecting every last leaf. The holes left from the injection are very small, and don't harm the tree.
Injection is effective on a variety of tree pests and fungal diseases.
Fungal control includes oak wilt disease, Dutch elm disease, leaf diseases of trees with fruit that isn't eaten, and anthracnose in sycamore trees. As with many other pest control methods, injections are more effective as a preventative measure than they are at wiping out existing infestations. If you experience pest swarms in your trees year after year, you should call to schedule an injection before the problem gets out of hand. Estimates for treatment with the injection method depend on the circumference of the tree, and amount of trees on your property.
