emerald-ash-borerThe Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an invasive pest introduced from Asia that attacks ash trees. This metallic wood boring beetle was found in Detroit, Michigan and Ontario, Canada in 2002 and has continued to spread across the U.S. and Canada. EAB larvae live under the bark of a tree and feed in the vascular cambium, disrupting the flow of water and nutrients essential to a tree’s health.

Evidence

Why trunk injections?

Arborjet trunk injections seal formulations directly inside a tree’s vascular system ensuring an accurate dose that moves quickly to the target. Trunk injections limit the need to make foliar or soil applications, and research shows greater efficacy with trunk injections.

Why use Arborjet?

Arborjet’s TREE I.V and QUIK-jet injection systems along with its full line of formulations have been designed by arborists for arborists. Similar to a hospital IV or injection, Arborjet products are designed to deliver a controlled dosage of formulation directly into the transport tissue of a tree where it is then distributed throught the tree.

Independent research has shown that TREE-age is the most effective and efficient management option for Emerald Ash Borer. TREE-age provides up to 2 years of control for Emerald Ash Borer.
