Tree Care

Why Plant Health Care, Not Tree Health Care?

While trees are dominant ornamental features in your home landscape, they share this area with turfgrasses, shrubs, and bedding plants. And all these plants have one resource in common: the soil. The roots of trees, shrubs, turfgrass, and bedding plants intermingle and compete for water and nutrients. In fact, the roots of a single mature tree may extend 60 feet or more out into your lawn or flower beds. Every treatment applied to the lawn (fertilizer and herbicide, for example) can impact the appearance and vitality of a tree. Conversely, treatments applied to a tree, such as pruning and fertilizing, can influence the appearance and vitality of the underlying turfgrass. The care of each plant in a landscape can affect the health of every plant in that landscape.

Our program consists of Direct injections into the Tree itself, Much like giving yourself a Flu shot. The Nutrients along with Disease and Insect Control are placed directly into the trees cambium layer where the circulatory system of the tree can carry the nutrients along with the disease and insect control throughout the entire tree. One treatment lasts for one season NO Spraying involved Completely Environmentally Friendly .

Application price based on the Diameter of the tree to be treated and are on a per tree basis

More about the Direct inject System

Direct-Inject

™
Tree Treatment System
People friendly!
The Direct-Inject system is a closed system that injects
chemicals directly into your trees.
• Children and pets will not be exposed to chemical spray
or open chemical containers.
• With no spraying, chemical drift concerns are eliminated.
There is no need to cover outdoor toys, play equipment,
pools, furniture, or vehicles.
• With the Direct-Inject system, chemical is placed inside
the tree. There are no chemical cups to spill or drain.
No need to guard trees during applications.
Tree friendly!
The Direct-Inject System is the most tree-friendly way to
treat trees. One of the only trunk methods that doesn’t
require drilling, the Direct-Inject system is a sustainable,
no-drill method which protects tree vitality. The DirectInject System:
• Is a less invasive application method that promotes
long-term tree vigor.
• Injects chemical directly into the tree's vascular system,
right where the tree will use it.
• Does not leave open wounds or holes which provide
entry points for insects and disease.
• Provides quick control, generally in two to five days.
• In most cases, provides season-long control with
one application.

Tree Fertlization

Trees suffering from slow or incomplete leaf-out?
Trees looking yellow or tired?
Nutriboosters promote leaf growth and help trees overcome chlorosis. Watch your trees change from sickly to darker-green healthy in days.

Before and After

GreenTree Pro Nutriboosters® helps stressed, weak, and yellowing trees regain health and vitality. One application will help trees quickly green up, leaf out, and recover from drought, construction, or transplant stress. Results are often seen within two weeks, especially when treatments are made in the late spring or early summer.
GreenTree Pro is a unique formulation of three compounds which boost tree vigor.

Phosphorus encourages stem elongation, root growth, and vegetative growth.
Potassium promotes overall tree health.
Iron promotes the development of darker green, healthy leaves, relieving the symptoms of chlorosis.

Aphids	Sap sucking insects causing foliage to become sticky and distorted on many trees, shrubs and evergreens. A sooty mold often develops that may discolor the area below.
Ash / Lilac Borer	Larvae burrow into trunks and excavate galleries in young and stressed Ash trees, causing severe limb die back and possible death.
Ash Sawfly	Green larval worms feed on the leaves of Ash trees, potentially defoliating the entire tree.
Boxelder Bug	This insect is primarily a nuisance that does little harm to the Boxelder trees. Very difficult to control effectively. Control can be applied any time adults are present.
Bronze Birch Borer	Larval feeding destroys tissue of trunks and branches. Preventative treatments are effective for control.
Codling Moth	Frequently referred to as "The worm in apples". Treatments are most effective just after full blossom, but can extend through harvest when maximum control is required.
Cottony Maple Scale	Large cotton-like egg masses. Can be found on Maple, Locust, Cotoneaster, Viburnum and other trees and shrubs.
Cottonwood / Poplar Borer	Affects weakened Cottonwood, Poplar and Aspen trees, causing drill like holes in trunk. Death of affected tree is common.
Crown Borer	Attacks the lower trunk of Peach and Plum trees, causing jelly-like masses. Can cause decline or death of tree.
Elm Bark Beetle	The carrier of Dutch Elm Disease; also destroys the tissue under the bark. Mostly affects American and English Elms.
Elm Leaf Beetle	The larvae feeds in between the veins, skeletonizing the leaves and the adult beetle chew holes in the leaves. Heavy feeding can cause defoliation.
Elm Leaf Miner	Larvae appear inside new leaves as they develop appearing as brown and transparent pockets in the leaf. Can also cause premature leaf drop. Can affect many trees including Elm, Birch, Boxwood, Hawthorn and Roses.
European Elm Scale	Immature stage will secrete large amounts of sticky honeydew and cause sooty mold that will discolor branches and the ground under them. Will cause twig and branch die back.
Honeylocust Plant Bug / Leafhopper	These two insects together will feed on new Honeylocust leaves as they emerge and will cause distorted looking leaves
IPS Engraver Beetle	Beetles make small holes into the bark and create galleries underneath. Saw dust like frass is emitted. Often starts at the top. This small beetle mass attacks stressed Pine and Spruce trees causing them to die quickly.
Japanese Beetle	A newcomer to Colorado. Can feed on almost any plant including turf roots. Seems to prefer certain vines, roses and berry plants. Best controls requires monitoring and a full plant health care program.
Kermes Scale	This insect will cause tufts of Oak leaves to fall. Heavy infestations will cause branch die back and tree death.
Mites	Many species that can damage almost any plant including turf. Best controls are achieved with a Plant Health Care Program.
Mountain Pine Beetle	Primarily a mountain problem but has migrated to the front range, attacking and killing Scotch, Ponderosa, Mugo Pine and Lodgepole Pine trees.
Oak Leafroller	This defoliator periodically builds up to high populations in the spring, defoliating many groups of Gambel Oak trees.
Oystershell Scale	Affects Aspen, Ash, Lilac, Cotoneaster and other plants. Best treated in crawler stage.
Pine / Juniper Needle Scale	Visible as small white specks on some Pine, Spruce and Juniper needles causing severe tissue damage to those needles. Not to be confused with the natural resin specks on Bristlecone Pine trees.
Poplar Scale	This scale is becoming a serious problem on many Aspen trees requiring special control.
Red Headed Ash Borer	Relatively new to the Front Range. Drill holes evident in trunk. Can severely damage younger Ash trees.
Spruce Gall Adelgid	Causes a brown cone like growth on the tips of Spruce trees. Damage is mostly cosmetic.
Striped Pine Scale	A soft scale causing obvious thinning and decline of Scotch and Mugo Pine trees.
Tussock Moth	This serious defoliator of Spruce and Fir trees can kill a tree if it is repeatedly hit.
Turpentine Beetle	Attacks the lower 8' of stressed Pine tree trunks causing obvious saw dust like frass filled pitch tubes.
Walnut Twig Beetle	Attacks twigs and branches of Walnut trees, plus carries a deadly fungus known as 1000 Canker disease. Effective preventative controls have not yet been established.
White Pine Weevil	This beetle with a snout hits the top terminal of Spruce trees and causes the top to die and crook over. Repeated attacks cause the top of a Spruce to be deformed.
Zimmerman Pine Moth	Larvae feed on and cause distressed tissue around Pine tree branches where they connect to trunks, causing weakened branch attachment and failure.

Powdery Mildew	A fungal disease which infects leaves of trees and shrubs such as Apple, Lilac and Roses. Leaves will have a light powdery look. Fungicide applications can help.
Anthracnose	Several species attack trees such as Sycamore, Ash, and Maple causing significant stress and potential death.
Cytospora Canker	Some of the more aggressive species infect and kill Aspen, Cottonwood, and Mountain Ash.
Dutch Elm Disease	This disease has been killing American Elm trees in Denver since 1970. Preventative programs can be very effective for control.
Fireblight	Aggressive bacterial disease of Apple, Crab-apple, Pear, Peach, Mountain Ash and Hawthorn.
Leaf Spot	Leaf spot is often the cause of discolored leaves falling from Aspen and Cottonwood trees in July and August.
