Tree Injections & Plant Health Care | Evansville & Newburgh

Healthy trees are an investment. Proactive plant health care (PHC) protects your trees from pests, disease and nutrient deficiencies—saving thousands of dollars compared with removal and replacement. Our ISA‑certified arborists offer comprehensive PHC services tailored to the unique needs of trees in Newburgh, Evansville and Henderson.

Emerald Ash Borer Treatments

Emerald ash borer (EAB) is a destructive beetle responsible for killing millions of ash trees across the Midwest. If left untreated, infested ash trees will die within 20 years 2 . Our trunk‑injection treatments deliver systemic insecticide directly into the tree’s vascular system, protecting it for up to two years without spraying chemicals into your yard. Early treatment saves your ash tree and preserves shade and property value.

Insect & Disease Control

Pine beetles, bagworms, scale insects, bacterial leaf scorch and fungal diseases can quickly weaken trees. We diagnose pest and disease issues and apply targeted injections or soil treatments to eradicate infestations and restore tree vigor. Quick action prevents pests from spreading to healthy trees.

Nutrient Deficiencies & Chlorosis Correction

Yellowing leaves often indicate nutrient deficiencies, especially iron and manganese. We offer nutrient injections such as Mn‑Jet Fe to correct chlorosis and restore rich green foliage. Improved nutrient balance boosts growth and resilience.

Plant Growth Regulators

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) like Shortstop® 2SC slow canopy growth while encouraging root development. They reduce trimming frequency, save maintenance costs and improve drought tolerance. PGRs are ideal for street trees, commercial landscapes and trees under power lines

Tree Injection & Plant Health Care FAQs

Questions about tree injections, plant health care, emerald ash borer treatment, and arborist services in Evansville and Newburgh? Below are answers to common questions from Southern Indiana homeowners.

How do tree injections work?

We drill small holes into the trunk and inject liquid treatments directly into the tree’s vascular system. The tree quickly distributes the product throughout its canopy. Holes compartmentalize and close naturally.

Are the treatments safe for children and pets?

Yes. Trunk injections minimize exposure since the product is sealed within the tree. We follow label instructions and industry best practices for safety.

When should I treat my ash tree for EAB?

Treatments are most effective in spring or early summer before larvae begin feeding. If EAB is present in your area, start treatments proactively.

How often do nutrient injections need to be repeated?

Most nutrient treatments last 1–3 years. We’ll evaluate your tree’s response and recommend a schedule.

What are tree injections?

Tree injections deliver professional treatment directly into a tree’s vascular system to help manage insects, disease, and environmental stress while minimizing off-target exposure.

What trees can be treated with injections?

Commonly treated trees include ash, oak, maple, pine, elm, and ornamental trees experiencing insect pressure, fungal disease, chlorosis, or canopy decline.

Do tree injections work for emerald ash borer?

Yes. Professional trunk injections are one of the most effective treatments available for protecting healthy ash trees from emerald ash borer damage when applied at proper intervals.

How long do tree injections last?

Treatment longevity depends on the product, tree species, and target issue. Some injections last one season while others may provide multi-year protection. EAB injections protect the tree for 2 years guaranteed.
