Improve Reliability
Reliability can be improved by controlling growth of any tree
growing in or near utility easements, especially fast growing
species. An application of Cambistat is typically effective
for three years, however, effective control ranges from two
to eight years depending on geographic location, tree species,
and soil conditions.
- Reduce Tree Growth 40%-60% for 3 Years
- Extend Pruning Cycles

Reduce Line Clearance Costs
Line clearance costs can be reduced two ways: First, by extending
the overall cycle period by one or more years, and second, by
holding fast growing cycle buster trees until normal trim rotation.
Trimming residue (biomass) is also reduced on treated trees
which helps improve crew productivity and reduce disposal costs.
- Reduce Trim and Chip Time up to
55%

Improve Customer Relations
Trimming clearances needed for long term reliability can often
cause customer refusals or “limited trims”. Cambistat can
be used to minimize the impact of “limited trims” and improve
customer relations. In fact, the tree health benefits of Cambistat
can play a vital role in presenting a positive solution in
traditionally difficult situations. These benefits can also
be used as a solution to meet local legislation requirements
and objectives of local tree care groups.
- Extend Pruning Cycles Thereby Reducing Property Intrusions
- Improve Health of the Trees
- Combine Health Benefits with Reduced Pruning for Sensitive
Customers
Positive Link to Customer
“Because
of its many positive effects on trees, paclobutrazol is quickly
evolving from use solely on trees under electric distribution
lines to an important tool for commercial landscaper and arboricultural
practices where both growth suppression and improved tree
health are desired.”
