In 2007 Back Tree service discovered the right system of treatment for the infestation of the Emerald Ash Borer, known as TREE-äge. Unlike other systems, it lasts for two years, is safe for pets and humans right from the time of treatment. Unlike many treatments that are put into the soil, it is put directly into the tree, and so it has no impact on the environment around the trees.
Back Tree Service now has over 10,000 ash trees under management, and this season will add thousands more. it’s quite a departure from the tree removal business that we started in.
Our technicians who inject the ash trees, all say they feel a sense of pride and fulfillment at the end of each day. Having saved ash trees from certain destruction from the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). At the end of April, we will start another season of saving thousands of ash trees.
