Hemlock Treatments start today

For the next several days, I have one member of the staff dedicated solely to the purpose of treating Hemlocks around the property for the Hemlock Wholly Adelgid.  We treat most Hemlocks on the property annually.  Due to cost, it is unrealistic to treat those off in the woods, but we are doing everything possible to ensure we save our strategic trees. 


The method we use is soil drenches and soil injections.  This method is different from the truck injections you may have seen.  For one, it is much more cost effective and two, works better based on university research.
