Other
Treatments
We also offer additional treatments for very specific
tree and landscape issues. These include the application
of growth regulators, anti-dessicants, and bio-stimulants.
Growth Regulators Paclobutrazol is a
material that slows the growth of trees. It also produces
numerous beneficial side effects including increased fine
root production and increased drought tolerance. This
can be useful for controlling the size of a large or fast
growing tree in a confined area. It can also be used as
a remedial treatment for trees that are stressed from
root damage or poor sit conditions.
Anti-dessicants This treatment is used
to protect broad leaf evergreens such as rhododendron,
mountain laurel, hollies, etc. from winter damage. It
is a specialized wax that forms a protective coating over
leaves, preventing water loss and foliar damage. Treatments
are generally made in November and last for one season.
Bio-stimulants This is a soil treatment
that contains some fertilizer along with humic acid, seaweed
extract, Vitamin B, and other compounds that improve growing
conditions for beneficial soil bacteria and fungi. The
product we use is called RootsŪ and can be applied in
a granular or liquid form. |
