Elmsavers manages elm leaf beetle and associated plant health issues too maintain these historic elms.

With trees that are 140 years old great care and good horticultural methods have been implemented.

There has been a dramatic improvement in tree health over the past few years we have arrested the decline with a combination of novel chemistry, nutrition and a coordinated approach with Yering management.

We have a close association with Maroondah Council; the elms at Ringwood Clock Tower are high profile examples of the many trees we manage with our micro injection technology.

Elmsavers is involved with Maroondah City Council in the treatment of diseases in other Amenity trees as well.

We manage and update the database accordingly for the council in regards to chemistry, treatments and response.

Golden elm near the artillery gun was injected on October 16th 2003, this tree has not been treated since, and it was clean in the 2006/2007 season that is four growth seasons. (Extended Guarantee). We have other trees that have been beetle free for six years. All others were treated on May 4th 2004.

Located five kilometers from Moyhu these beautiful old elm trees are estimated to be 125 years old and range between 130 to 175 centimeters in diameter. Since treated by tree injection the present owners have noticed an increase in leaf size and vigour even in severe drought conditions. Adjacent untreated trees on neighbouring properties were badly damaged while these giants remained clean.

Mansfield Shire has engaged Elmsavers to maintain the shire trees.

As a progressive council they have adopted micro injection with enthusiasm, its benefits in controlling ELB spreading where quickly understood.

Spraying concerns in the town ship have been averted; improvements in tree health and reductions in expenditure have been achieved.

These picturesque trees are maintaining good health, hitch hiking beetle readily attempt to establish themselves in trees near high turn over car parking, particularly at cross roads, as you can see they are very clean with minimal shot hole.

Micro injection is the only way to achieve a two year result in this situation, you could not soil inject these trees.
