Tree Doctor 911 Tree Trivia Study Guide

Part Five:

There are multitudes of over the counter medicines available which claim to be able to provide control of a wide variety of pests and diseases, but most of them simply do not work. They are a temporary band-aid to an ongoing problem that requires a solution to make the tree healthy and SUSTAINABLE. Some companies spray trees to treat for disease or parasites, but there are several major underlying problems with this treatment method. Spraying a tree only treats for external parasites, but the most fatal attacks often occur within the tree: spraying your trees will not eradicate internal parasites.

   Spraying has a very short efficacy; typically expiring in 8-14 days (sometimes even a single rain can wash the treatment away completely). It also is highly toxic to the surrounding environment--it kills 100% of bees that come into contact with these sprays--this kills entire hives that are responsible for pollinating our food crops, which humans and animals rely on to survive. If bees pollinate a crop, it can produce ~300-500% MORE food than it normally would, or produce ~300-500% LESS food than it should if not pollinated at all (some crops won't produce any food unless pollinated by bees). We rely on bees as nature's pollinators; they are necessary for sustainable life on our planet. Even a diversity of beneficial insects and wildlife such as ladybugs, praying mantises, birds,  etc. are killed by the harmful sprays.

   These harmful chemicals are also absorbed by people and animals; this can cause a variety of ill effects in our bodies. This is where Tree Doctor 911 can offer an environmentally friendly alternative: We can and do commonly treat trees within several feet of active bee hives, and there is no evidence of any damage to the bees; our pollinators who are our best friends. We are bee friendly, and our micro-injection method allows our medicines to stay completely self-contained within the tree, which prevents external environmental contamination.

Part Six:

By utilizing a highly advanced form of tree treatment called micro-injection, Tree Doctor 911 is able to fully eradicate 100% of both internal and external parasites/pathogens (often times with a single treatment). By applying and administering our medicines to the cambium layer of a tree, we are successfully able to systemically treat the entire tree system with this exceptional life-saving remedy.

   We are educationally based, and utilize our personally employed PhDs, biologists, etc. and rely on our proven methods. We have been in business since 1938 and our exceptional 5 month warranty shows our level of confidence, and that we know exactly what we are talking about. We are not simply certified arborists; we are also tree engineers who specialize in replenishing, revitalizing and rejuvenating suffering trees, and with proper care and maintenance, bring them back to complete health and vigor to become more healthy and beautiful than they've ever been in your yard.

Part Seven:

Some tree care companies also commonly apply nitrogen in the Spring to plants and trees. These applications only hide internal pests and diseases because nitrogen will help green the foliar system of a tree, and will make it look & perform beautifully for a short period of time (like a racehorse given steroids to make it run faster), but the diseases/parasites still remain, and the tree will continue to get worse. Nitrogen is the miracle drug that makes everything green; it does not treat for insects or disease. There is almost always at least one factor that is causing visual (and hidden) decline in your ailing trees, and we are the only company in the southwest who work with PhDs, biologists and have many other exceptionally skilled tree healers and staff on hand, and we can provide you with a complete diagnostic consultation of every single tree on your property (and full professional lab analysis available when necessary) to ensure you are getting the best diagnosis, prognosis and treatment possible for your trees.

Part Eight:

Although there are several techniques available to treat trees, micro-injection is one of the only procedures to ensure a proper and long-term eradication of numerous lethal diseases/pests that commonly kill our beloved trees. Spraying does very little to kill internal parasites/pathogens, is not effective as a long term treatment, and is very destructive to the environment. Soil drench applications at the base of a tree are also a virtually completely ineffective type of medication; the roots have an extremely difficult time absorbing enough chemical to be effective (especially when the tree is dry or is already in a state of stress). This method also kills much of beneficial bacteria and fungi that are present in the soil that the tree relies on to thrive.

   Micro-injection is the best method for saving infested/diseased trees, and can also be used as a great preventive treatment to maintain the health of your trees! There are also many other advantages to micro-injecting a tree, and these reasons alone should be enough to encourage a person to want to utilize the benefits of micro-injection versus harmful & inferior spraying. As tree stewards, this is by far your best approach to keep your trees healthy and vibrant for many generations to come. BUYER BEWARE! There are a number of companies who see there is money to be made, so they are starting to administer micro-injections, but they are not trained in this, and many of them do not even know what they are injecting into your trees--and more importantly--YOU don't know what they are putting in your trees. Watch out for other 'tree doctor' company names; Tree Doctor 911 is the only truly established tree care company (since 1938) to have the long time background knowledge and expertise to ensure you are getting the best care possible.
