Portle Injection Tip for conifers and hard-to-treat
hardwoods
Portle Tips have multiple “ports,” or openings, along the end of the tip which deliver chemical numerous points in the inner active layers of conifers, and allows you to inject more chemical at each injection site when desired. A check valve in the base of each tip keeps chemical in the tree until it is absorbed.
Portle Tips have also proven beneficial when injecting tough-barked hardwoods such as hackberry and hickory, thick-barked hardwoods such as elm and eucalyptus, or when the bark of any type tree becomes harder to penetrate when making late summer or fall injections. The short Portle Tip works well for injecting Sycamore and London Plane trees that can be difficult to inject with the Wedgle Tip.
The Portle Palm Tip has a pointed end that aids the tip in getting into the toughest plants. The chemical ports are recessed to minimize plant material from clogging the tip. It is designed to penetrate a palm's outer husk and deliver chemical into the inner active layers. Some palms require a starter or pilot hole to be drilled so injection tips can be easily inserted through the husk.
The Tip Setter is used to set and remove Portle and Portle Palm Tips. The Tip Setter is used to drive these heavier injection tips deep into the active areas of conifers and palms, or through thick, tough outer bark of some hardwoods.
