Macro Infusion Does NOT work on
Diseased Elms
Our company has never had success
saving an elm infected with Dutch Elm disease using Macro-Infusion.
What typically happens when a diseased tree is treated with
Macro-Infusion is the symptoms of the disease become masked
and the tree dies within 2 -3 years. We have had tremendous
success utilizing a process we developed called Tracing.
The 4 Distinctions you Need To Know to
Successfully Save Infected Elms with Tracing
Saving infected elms has made some major steps forward in
recent years. It is now possible to save elms that are infected
into the trunk using a process that physically isolates the
Dutch Elm disease fungus. To gain some common sense about
this process you need to understand 4 key distinctions.
Tracing can save elms diseased into the
trunk.

Distinction 1
How the Fungus Grows
The Dutch Elm disease fungus starts in the 2-4 year old twigs.
It grows down the branch in a narrow band until it reaches
the root system. Once in the root flares, the fungus can move
sideways and grow back up the tree in many places. For Tracing
to work, the fungus must not have entered the root flares.
