Oak Wilt Treatment




Here are pictures of some of the trees getting their oak wilt fungicide. They had to dig around the trees to expose the flare roots, drill holes into the base of the tree and hook up pressurized tanks and hoses to the trees. The blue stuff is the fungicide. It was cool watching the trees take up the fungicide, it looked like drinking raspberry cool-aid with a straw. All but 4 of the 16 trees we treated drank their medicine. I'm confident the 12 will survive and live another 100 years.
