The Exclusive Providers of OTC Tree Injection Formula and the Tree Saver Injection System for the Control of Phytoplasma Disease in Palms including Lethal Yellowing Disease and Texas Phoenix Decline in Palms

What is Phytoplasma Disease in Palms?
Is this the same thing as Lethal Yellowing (LY) and Texas Phoenix Palm Decline (TPPD)?

Phytoplasma Disease is a fatal but preventable cell wall-less bacteria that affects 39 species of palms with the most commonly affected species being Coconut Palms, Date Palms and Adonidia Palms. Lethal Yellowing and Texas Phoenix Palm Decline are the common names for two genetically distinct phytoplasmas that act similarly in palms by clogging the phloem tissue in the vascular system. Recently, Sabal (Cabbage) Palms and Queen Palms have been diagnosed with a phytoplasma disease too. The genetic type is unknown at this time but it is assumed to be the same as TPPD.

LY and TPPD are found throughout the east and west coast of Florida, Texas, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, and Africa.

LY is spread by the planthopper insect Myndus crudus. Myndus crudus feeds by piercing the frond and sucking out the sap in the phloem tissue. If a tree is infected with LY, the disease is ingested by Myndus crudus. As the insect moves from tree to tree the disease is spread. LY and TPPD are usually found in concentrated hotspots of activity. This insect only lives in warm locations.
The vector for TPPD is unknown at this time but it is also likely to be a planthopper.
Phytoplasma diseases in palms cannot be spread by pruning tools or other equipment!

The symptoms vary greatly depending on palm species and cultivar but is most often associated with premature fruit drop, wilting of the inflorescence (seed/flower pod), excessive yellowing or browning of the canopy from the oldest to the newest fronds and finally death of the apical meristem (bud) of the palm.
It is important to note that some palms such as the Coconut and Adonidia Palm can easily be identified as having LY phytoplasma while other palm species are much more difficult to ID and a sample submitted to the University of Florida will be needed to confirm the disease.

Protecting your trees from LY and TPPD is easy and affordable for Homeowners and profitable for Commercial Arborists and Nurseries. The Tree Saver Injection Formula and patented Tree Saver Injection System has proven to be an extremely effective measure in preventing LY and TPPD and occasionally successful in achieving remission of a palm already infected. This program was originally developed through research performed by the University of Florida.

No! Tree Saver operates under a Federal EPA License and a State of Florida Special Local Needs License. All commercial and residential users fall under this license and do not need any additional licensing to inject palm trees when using the Tree Saver Injection Formula and System.
Tree Saver is the only company licensed in the State of Florida and the sole provider of OTC for the prevention of Phytoplasma Disease (LY and TPPD) in palms.
