Treat Tree Disease Without Broadcast Spraying

Tree Injections for properties with declining canopy health or visible pest damage

EcoScape offers Arborjet tree injection services that deliver treatment directly into the vascular system of the tree, targeting diseases, insect infestations, and nutrient deficiencies without applying chemicals to surrounding soil or air. You schedule this service when leaves yellow prematurely, when bark beetles bore into pine trunks, or when dieback appears in the upper canopy despite adequate watering.

The service covers aspen, cottonwood, pine, juniper, maple, oak, willow, palm, and other common landscape trees. Treatment starts at 150 dollars and is priced based on diameter at breast height, which determines the volume of formulation required. General pest control customers receive a free tree inspection to assess whether injection therapy is appropriate for the species and condition observed.

If your trees show signs of stress or insect activity, contact EcoScape to schedule a property evaluation and discuss treatment timing.

How the Arborjet Injection System Works

Your technician measures the trunk diameter at chest height to calculate dosage, then drills small access ports into the sapwood using a calibrated bit. The Arborjet system injects fungicide, insecticide, or nutrient formulation under pressure, allowing the tree to draw the treatment upward through its xylem tissue and distribute it throughout the canopy over several days.

After injection, you will notice that new growth appears greener, leaf drop slows or stops, and visible pest activity such as boring dust or webbing declines within two to four weeks. The injection sites seal naturally as the tree compartmentalizes the wound, leaving only small marks that fade as bark expands.

Treatment timing depends on species and the issue being addressed: spring applications work best for feeding insects like aphids or borers, while fall injections are more effective for systemic fungicides that protect against winter disease. Injections do not restore trees with extensive root damage, advanced decay, or structural failure.

Questions about treatment safety, species compatibility, and visible results come up often during property inspections.

What Homeowners Ask About Tree Injections

What tree problems can injections treat?
Injections treat insect infestations like bark beetles, borers, and aphids, fungal diseases such as anthracnose or verticillium wilt, and nutrient deficiencies causing chlorosis or stunted growth. They do not repair physical damage, root rot, or drought stress.
How is pricing determined for tree injections?
Pricing starts at 150 dollars and increases based on diameter at breast height, measured four and a half feet above ground. Larger trees require more formulation and additional injection sites, which raises the total cost.
Why is injection better than spraying?
Injection delivers treatment directly into the tree's vascular system, which reduces chemical drift, protects pollinators, and avoids runoff into soil or water. It also ensures the active ingredient reaches interior tissue where many pests and diseases develop.
When should I schedule treatment for my trees?
Spring is ideal for treating feeding insects and promoting new growth, while late summer or early fall works better for fungal disease prevention. Timing depends on pest life cycles and the tree species involved.
What species respond best to Arborjet injections?
Aspen, cottonwood, pine, juniper, maple, oak, willow, and palm trees all respond well to injection therapy when the vascular system is healthy enough to transport the formulation. Dying or severely stressed trees may not benefit.

If you notice declining canopy health, unusual leaf discoloration, or signs of insect damage on your trees, reach out to EcoScape to arrange an inspection and determine whether injection treatment is appropriate for your landscape.
