PROBLEM/SOLUTION
- The trees of the West are facing significant challenges, made worse by the summer drought stress of recent years.
- By far the most prevalent problem is with bark borers. Virtually all of our local pine trees, are under attack, or will be, and there is no known genetic resistance. There are some similar issues with spruce and fir trees, but our beautiful pines are being hit hardest and won't survive without help. Only direct insecticide injection can reach the bark borers, once they're under the protection of the bark. To prevent new infestations we use a repellant on the trunk. When you don't protect your high-value trees, and have to cut them down, your home and neighborhood lose value, not to mention the cost of cutting them down runs from $1000 to $3500, depending on size and accessibility.
- With our poor soils, micronutrient deficiency is also a significant problem that can be solved most quickly by direct injection.
- Other than dormant oils etc., our approach is the most direct and lasting approach. For most problems trunk injection is the safest most reliable way to treat what's ailing your trees.
