MediCap FE SUPER Systemic Iron Tree Implants 1/2-Inch (25-Pack)

Overview

MediCap FE SUPER Systemic Iron Tree Implants in the 1/2-inch size are designed for trees showing iron deficiency chlorosis, a condition often linked to calcareous, arid, or sandy soils. The 25-pack provides a ready-to-use supply for multiple specimens or larger plantings, offering a practical solution for maintaining deeper iron delivery where its most needed. When moisture conditions are favorable, the iron can move systemically through the tree, potentially supporting healthier-looking foliage and growth patterns over time.

How it works

One treatment is designed to last 2 to 3 years. Installation is straightforward: tap the implant into pre-drilled 1/2″ holes in the lower trunk at 4 to 6 inch spacing using a hammer and bolt or dowel rod. The cartridge head securely plugs the small wound, and the cambium is expected to begin closing the implant site as part of the trees natural healing process. Under normal moisture conditions, the iron moves through the tree within 14 to 21 days, which can support quicker green growth and new shoot development.

Key installation and usage details

• Easy to install with basic tools and minimal steps
• Designed for trees with trunk diameter of 8 inches and larger

What trees and soils this is suited for

These implants are commonly used in a variety of species prone to iron deficiency in challenging soils. Notable examples include different oaks (such as pin oak and white oak), black locust, eucalyptus, birch, sweet gum, pine, magnolia, sycamore, dogwood, podocarpus, poplar, catalpa, citrus, peach, pear, apple, avocado, and silver maple. They are intended for trees growing in calcareous, arid, or sandy soils where iron availability may be limited.

Expected outcomes and considerations

• Under proper moisture, systemic movement through the tree typically occurs in about 1421 days, potentially supporting new growth
• Ten Medicaps can treat a tree with a 14-inch diameter, while the product line targets trees with 8-inch or larger trunks
• Longer-term care and environmental factors influence results; this is a targeted iron delivery option rather than a guaranteed cure
