Ash Tree Micro-injections Using the Arborjet System
The actual process is very similar to getting a shot from a doctor or a
hospital intravenous.
Using either a “Tree I.V.” or a syringe-like injector
called a “QUIK-jet”, small amounts of concentrated treatment formula
are injected into the “veins” of the tree. Once inside the tree, the tree’s
natural processes distribute and diffuse the medicament throughout
the tissues where insects and diseases typically try to invade or feed,
stopping the destructive pest before it can do any damage. The injection
is performed through a special insert called an Arborplug which
facilitates the injection, prevents leakage or infection, and speeds the
development of new woody tissue to “heal” over the site.
