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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I install Medicap FE implants safely and correctly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrill 1\/2\" diameter holes into the lower trunk at 4–6\" spacing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTap implants in with a hammer and bolt or dowel until cartridge head is flush.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10 implants treat roughly a 14\" trunk diameter; use more for larger trees.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCartridge head seals the wound; cambium tissue closes over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen will I see results after using these iron implants?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder normal moisture conditions the active iron will translocate through the tree within about 14–21 days, producing noticeable leaf greening.
