Description
Elmsavers is a specialized arboricultural and horticultural service provider dedicated to the health and preservation of elm trees across Australia. With over 35 years of experience, Elmsavers offers comprehensive, cost-effective, and environmentally considerate solutions to combat various tree pests and diseases, notably the elm leaf beetle. Operating in regions including victoria, south Australia & NSW areas, Elmsavers serves a diverse clientele comprising councils, government authorities, and private individuals.
The elm leaf beetle poses a significant threat to Australia's elm tree population, capable of defoliating a tree within a week if left untreated. To combat this, Elmsavers employs several treatment methods:
Tree Injection: This year-round treatment involves directly injecting Ema-Ject® insecticides and fungicides into the tree trunk, offering a fast, safe, and inconspicuous solution.
Canopy Spraying: Conducted at full leaf expansion, typically around the third week of October, this method uses biological agents to protect the foliage.
Elmsavers has phased out soil injection treatments due to environmental considerations. By focusing on these effective and eco-friendly methods, Elmsavers ensures the vitality and longevity of elm trees, safeguarding them against the destructive impact of the elm leaf beetle.
