ABSTRACT:
A tree injection closed system functions to dispense treatment fluid such as tree growth regulators (TGR) or retardants into the cambium layer of a tree to slow the growth thereof. Other treatment fluid include nutriments and fungicides, for example. The system comprises an injector having a tubular body section for holding a charge of treatment fluid, and an injector tip in fluid communication with the tubular body section functions to dispense the fluid into the cambium layer of the tree being treated. A manual pump in fluid communication with a supply of treatment fluid may be used to charge the injector with the fluid. Alternatively, the treatment fluid supply may be pressurized and the fluid directly charged into the injector. Another alternative comprises a syringe which functions to fill the injector with a pre-packaged dose of treatment fluid.
