Tree Treatments
Checking your tree regularly for potential issues that could be brought on by diseases and insects is critical to maintaining a safe and healthy tree canopy. We at All Around Arbor believe treating the root cause of an issue can be the difference between a tree that falls into decline and one that thrives. Our simple approach starts with a health assessment by one of our trained arborists and then a recommended treatment plan if applicable.
Our preferred treatment method is done by basal injection with the Wedge Direct Injection system. It is fast, effective and long-lasting. While spraying can put product right on the leaf and branch surface, it is often washed off by our frequent rains. This leads to multiple application a year and increased cost. We have been treating by injection for 8 years strong and have seen the proof first-hand of it’s effectiveness.
The benefits of treating a tree by basal injection include:
- A precision delivery system at a known dose rate using less chemical.
- No-drilling, virtually eliminating wounding and permanent damage.
- Proven field results published by leading national researchers.
- Since 2001, Direct-Inject applications of Pointer Insecticide have saved thousands of trees from Emerald Ash Borer, preventively and curatively, even in heavily infested areas.
- One application of GreenTree Pro Nutriboosters 0-15-10 with Iron helps stressed, weak, or yellowing trees regain health and vitality, green up and leaf out. Ideal for newly transplanted trees.
- One application of Greyhound insecticide reduces the risk of Pine Wilt disease for up to three years.
- Dozens of other pests and conditions can be controlled with ArborSystems products.
If you have any questions surrounding the health, please don't hesitate to give us a call at 503-730-3632

"They responded fast to my request. I had a ornamental cherry tree with fungal issues and troubles with a maple tree. Mike came out for the free assessment and gave me advice on all my trees. I decided to move forward with the cherry tree. Mike was very professional and knowledgeable about my problem. I won't know until next year how successful the treatment was. Keeping my fingers crossed."
