God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools. ~John Muir
Of all the wonders of nature, a tree in summer is perhaps the most remarkable; with the possible exception of a moose singing "Embraceable You" in spats. ~Woody Allen
Tree and Shrub Growth Regulators
Often, trees are planted in spaces where ultimately they will outgrow their usefulness due to nearby buildings, utility lines, or restricted root spaces. One solution has been to top trees, but this practice is ultimately very destructive if the survives it at all.

Growth regulators are used to slow the growth of trees and shrubs. They often also have the added benefit of relieving stress and aiding trees in recovery from construction damage.
TREE GROWTH REGULATORS (TGR)
Often large trees or shrubs are planted in small spaces. TGR’s allow us to slow tip growth by 40 to 60% with the added benefit of reduced plant stress, relief of minor nutrient deficiencies, and increase drought tolerance.
Applications: Slowing of tree or shrub growth, minor nutrient deficiency correction, stress reduction, reduction of decline especially in older trees, regulate tree response to root and construction damage.
