What is the primary benefit of trunk implants in trees?

The primary benefit of trunk implants in trees is providing targeted nutrient delivery. This technique allows for the direct administration of essential nutrients and growth regulators into the vascular system of the tree. By doing so, it can effectively address specific deficiencies or support growth during critical periods, ensuring that the tree receives the exact nutrients it needs when it needs them the most.

This method is particularly advantageous because it bypasses soil issues such as compaction, poor drainage, or nutrient lock-up, which can hinder the uptake of nutrients through the root system. As such, trunk implants can lead to more immediate results compared to soil applications, promoting overall tree health and vigor efficiently.
