We can eradicate bamboo, Japanese Knotweed, and many invasive vines in sensitive landscapes. Our application techniques can help restore your backyard without the use of heavy equipment or disruptive sitework.
pinewood Nematode
Pinewood Nematodes invade Japanese Black Pines and other susceptible pine species from the vector insect Pine Sawyer Beetles. They feed on the circulatory system of the tree and cause branch die back, weakening and sometimes killing the tree.
Engraver Beetles
There are 3 varieties of beetle attacking pine forests in New Jersey. Generally they attack trees that are under other kinds of environmental stress or weakened by other pests or diseases, but healthy trees can also be infested.
"Blue Stain" Fungus
Beetles carry the fungi Leptographium terebrantis and L. procerum when they attack a pine. This disease clogs the circulatory system of the tree and can be even more effective at killing stands of pines than the beetles.
