Homeowner with new acreage, just had oak wilt show up and take out 4 mature oaks (17”-25” BHD) in the last 3 months. It’s breaking my heart watching these trees go.
I have another 40-60 red oaks that I want to preventatively treat and do anything I can to try and save them. I can’t afford to hire a commercial operation for that volume, so I’m going to buy a system and begin treatment on my own.

I read Jennifer Juzwik’s paper on micro vs macro, but it’s from back in 2015, I wish there was a longer term validation.
Had an arborist come out and show me how to use an Arborjet FSeries micro system (I’m gravitating towards Rainbow Ecoscience’s Q-connect vs Arborjet).
Found a local arborist who is retiring and will sell me his macro system.

What’s everyone’s vote on which system I should get?
 
macro

if you do use micro, provide a lot of irrigation before and after treatment.

there are few circumstances where it would make sense to treat that many trees. Tree removal and root trenching are an important part of effective managemnt
