MediCap FE Systemic Tree Iron Implants 25-Pack — 1/2" SUPER for Fast Greening, 2–3 Year Control of Iron Chlorosis

Medicap FE 1/2" SUPER systemic iron implants are a quick, long-lasting way to correct iron chlorosis in trees 8" trunk diameter and larger, delivering iron directly into the vascular system for visible greening within weeks.

These medicap implants are small, cartridge-style iron treatments designed to be placed into pre-drilled holes in the lower trunk so the active ingredient moves through the tree's vascular system. Each 25-pack contains implants intended for use in trees affected by iron deficiency—often seen in calcareous, arid, or sandy soils—and works across a wide variety of species. Properly installed, one treatment typically provides 2–3 years of benefit.

How do I install Medicap FE implants safely and correctly?

Installation is straightforward: drill 1/2" holes into the lower trunk, tap each implant into place, and let the cartridge head plug the small wound. Use spacing and counts appropriate to the tree size to ensure even distribution of the iron throughout the root-to-canopy system.

• Drill 1/2" diameter holes into the lower trunk at 4–6" spacing.
• Tap implants in with a hammer and bolt or dowel until cartridge head is flush.
• 10 implants treat roughly a 14" trunk diameter; use more for larger trees.
• Cartridge head seals the wound; cambium tissue closes over time.

When will I see results after using these iron implants?

Under normal moisture conditions the active iron will translocate through the tree within about 14–21 days, producing noticeable leaf greening. Environmental factors like drought, extreme cold, or soil conditions can affect timing, but the systemic delivery generally gives faster canopy response than soil applications.

• Typical visible improvement: 2–3 weeks after installation.
• One treatment usually lasts 2–3 years, reducing repeat applications.
• Soil moisture and tree health influence absorption speed and effectiveness.

Which tree species and situations are best suited for MEDICAP FE implants?

These implants are intended for tree species prone to iron chlorosis and for sites with calcareous, alkaline, arid, or sandy soils where roots have limited iron availability. They’re suitable for both ornamental and fruit trees that show yellowing between leaf veins due to iron deficiency.

• Common species: oak, birch, magnolia, sycamore, dogwood, citrus, apple, avocado, and more.
• Best for trunks 8" diameter and larger using the 1/2" SUPER size.
• Useful when soil-based iron treatments are slow or ineffective.

What safety and maintenance should I consider after implantation?

Medicap implants create a small, sealed wound that the cambium typically grows over; minimal follow-up is required. Avoid excessive drilling or damaging the root flare, and follow proper spacing rules to prevent concentrated wounds in one area of the trunk.

• Do not overload one area—space implants evenly around the lower trunk.
• Check trees during drought or stress; supplemental watering can improve uptake.
• One treatment reduces the need for frequent soil or foliar iron applications.

Who is this for: Landscapers, arborists, tree care professionals, and homeowners managing large ornamental or fruit trees in alkaline or poor soils will find Medicap FE 1/2" SUPER implants an efficient, low-maintenance solution for long-term iron correction. Choose this 25-pack when you need multiple treatments for several trees or repeated placements on larger trunks; follow installation guidance for best results and minimal tree wound impact.
