Abstract

The construction and use of an apparatus for injecting solutions under pressure into trees is described. A unique and important feature of the apparatus is that it permits injection of solutions into the outermost sapwood. It has been used to inject dye solutions and solubilized benomyl into elm, oak, and maple.
