Spotted Lanternfly
This invasive insect, native to Asia, has recently spread across the northeastern United States. Feeding on more than 70 species of plants and trees including wild and cultivated grape, hops, tree of heaven, walnut, maple, and birch; Spotted Lanternfly attacks attract other insects to feed, and cause tree mortality over a short period of time.
Emerald Ash Borer
This metallic wood boring beetle was found in Detroit, Michigan and Ontario, Canada in 2002, and has continued to spread into neighboring states and eventually across the U.S. and Canada.
Chlorosis
This condition, if allowed to progress, will cause slow growth, leaf loss, and eventually tree death. Chlorosis is often caused by deficiencies of the micro-elements iron and manganese, and is particularly prevalent in oak.

WHERE TO BUY
"I’ve been injecting a 70“ ash tree on the campus of Miami University since 2014. It has typically taken three long mornings to coax the needed volume of TREE-äge® into this tree. Using R10 for the first time, the entire treatment for 2020 was completed in 2.5 hours, in mid-August! R10 is revolutionary for my business - reading about R10 is one thing, an experience such as this quite another. I’ve instantly become a convert.”
