Maroondah Council saves $3000 in removal costs by treating and rejuvenating Spotted Gum.
Treatment involves micro injecting an insecticide fungicide combination that targets a wide range of insects and pathogens.
The fungicide component has high activity on Quambalaria – shoot tip blight and Uredo rangelii – Myrtle Rust.
Spotted Gum Corymbia maculata and others in the same genus are susceptible to both fungal disorders.
