FAQ – What to do if you forgot to clean your Wedgle Direct-Inject Tree Injection System last fall?

Whoops! Do you have your Wedgle annual maintenance kit? If not, call your distributor and order it now. Do you want to clean the Wedgle in a bucket of water or with the garden hose adapter? A quick overview on using a bucket of water. Submerge your unit in a bucket of water until the top QC coupler is underwater and squeeze the handles five to ten times. Then remove the injection tip from the unit and replace the dust plugs on both QC couplers. Or watch a video on our website to use the garden hose adapter. So even if you didn’t store your Wedgle properly last fall, you will be back in business this spring quickly. For more information, click here.

FAQ – What maintenance is needed with the Wedgle?

It’s easy to use and maintain. The annual maintenance is limited to an O-ring replacement. The sealed injector will not lose its prime while in use. And if you need to prime the Wedgle in the field, we have an online video showing how you can do it using a bottle of water and a coffee cup. At the end of the day, we recommend that you water flush your Wedgle to keep the injection unit from clogging. You can water flush the injection unit using a container of clean water or using the Garden Hose Adapter. For more information, click here.

FAQ – What kind of tree injection is the Wedgle?

Interesting question as ArborSystems Wedgle Direct-Injection Tree Treatment System is the only no-drill tree trunk injection. Why it matters? With no drilling needed, the Wedgle Direct-Inject System prevents long-term wounding, protecting tree health and vitality. The Wedgle Direct-Inject unit injects chemical directly into the cambial zone without damaging the sapwood, right where the tree can use it. No air enters the sapwood, so chemical is readily absorbed. And the vascular system is undisturbed, maintaining nutrient movement. Multiple or annual treatments can be made without injuring the tree.
