Trunk Injections, Treatment, and Plant Heath Care (PHC)

Kane’s Legacy is trained and experienced in Arborjet care. We have the equipment, history, and knowhow to maintain your trees before decline occurs or get your trees back to a healthy state.

Trunk injections are a safe and effective way to treat your trees for pests, diseases and nutrient deficiencies which can be detrimental to your trees overall health and appearance. Trunk injections are preferable to the traditional foliar sprays or soil drenches as there is a  significantly low environmental impact and 100% delivery of treatments. Foliar sprays are not guaranteed to reach the canopy, or even come in contact with all leaf surfaces and soil drenches have a low probability of getting to the intended root system. Both foliar and drenching methods can have unintended adverse environmental impacts. Trunk injections are different because the application process is quicker, the treatment is delivered directly into the vascular system and is naturally distributed throughout the tree which then remains in the tree longer. The application process is simple: a small hole is drilled in the tree, a custom plug is set to seal in the product while keeping out pathogens, and a specialized injection needle is used to deliver the treatment. The tree can easily heal over the minor wound and the plug can stay in place.

We also offer a growth regulator treatment as an alternative to over trimming or topping to accommodate a view. The treatment slows down foliage growth while strengthening the root system, enhancing the color of leaves, and encourages strong healthy new growth.
