Canopy Spraying

What is Canopy Spraying?

Canopying spraying is another option for achieving longer term protection for your elm tree

Canopy sprays and air blast treatments are implemented at full leaf expansion from around the 3rd week of October on, dependant on elm species and cultivar.

Trees up to 35m in height can be treated with one application that will provide full protection for the entire growing season.

The safer, newer systemic chemistries used by Elmsavers translocate to all new growth throughout the season. A balanced NPK plus trace elements – is incorporated with the treatment.

Elmsavers does advise that sprays containing the active ingredient Spinosad (entrust) should be avoided – as they are highly toxic to bees (note: this is stated on the product label and MSDS)
