Cambistat is the most trusted and researched tree growth regulator in the arboricultural industry.

Cambistat reduces shoot elongation by 40-60% over a three year period, which allows the tree to redirect energy from canopy growth to fine root development, defense chemicals, and storage.

It is applied by basal drench or subsurface soil injection at the root collar.

Cambistat allows you to delay the need for pruning and to hold pruning jobs longer.

Thicker leaves, greater fine root production, and more leaf hairs increase the drought tolerance of treated trees

Research shows that Cambistat increases root growth making it an ideal product for trees that have incured root damage.

Many companies report that Cambistat applications are their most profitable service.

Fall is a great time to apply Cambistat. Extend your plant health care season by scheduling this service after your insect and disease work has subsided.

Research shows that Cambistat gently slows the growth of trees, allowing the tree to redirect some of its energy from canopy growth to defense chemicals, fibrous root production, and stored energy.

The reallocation of energy makes the tree healthier and more durable. Cambistat is absorbed by the roots and transported in the xylem to the growing points where it blocks formation of the hormone gibberellic acid. Gibberellic acid is responsible for cell elongation, and it is produced through a series of reactions in the isoprenoid pathway.

When gibberellic acid formation is inhibited by Cambistat, the tree responds with a reduction in vegetative growth. Many species display a 40-60% reduction over a three year time period with one application. Species differ in sensitivity to Cambistat, but vegetative growth is generally reduced by 40-60% over a three-year period from one treatment. Growth reduction within the first year of treatment may not be as noticeable as in subsequent years.
