Tree Preservation: What is Tree Trunk Injection?
Tree injection or tree trunk injection is a new way people are protecting their trees. In today’s world there is no shortage of invasive species and tree diseases. Seemingly every year we are faced with a new inundation of bugs or diseases threating our trees and each year they spread further and further. Whether they are trees in our rural forests or trees that make up our urban landscapes we need to protect them or risk losing them.
In the past there have been many methods used to combat these threats, spraying harsh chemicals or applying pesticides to soils. These antiquated methods are messy and can potentially impact humans or the surrounding environment. Tree injection is a new tree pest control alternative.
How does tree injection work?
Tree trunk injection uses equipment that injects chemicals directly into the trunk of the tree. The chemicals injected depend on what the tree is being treated for. By injecting directly into the tree we prevent the mess caused by spraying or soil applications, making tree injection an eco-friendly solution that’s safe for people too!
Tree injection can treat trees for all of the following and more:
- Emerald Ash Borer
