ATTENTION ALL CUSTOMERS: This update is extremely important and must be read! Please go to http://www.imprelis-facts.com/ for an update statement from DuPont™.
Potential Imprelis® Damage

Today I wanted to share some information with you about a manufacturer’s lawn care product that is causing some unintended problems with certain trees.

The product in question is called Imprelis®. It is manufactured and distributed by DuPont™ Chemical, one of the world’s leading lawn care product suppliers. After 6 years of testing and research and approval from the E.P.A., DuPont™ started making this weed control product available. Imprelist® is the most expensive product on the market, but fell in line with our beliefs, as it was marketed as the most environmentally friendly weed control product ever manufactured.

Unfortunately lawn care companies across the country have noticed that Imprelist® appears to be damaging the new growth on some white pines and spruce trees. For a homeowners guide to Imprelis® Damage click here for the MSU Extension information

What is Dupont™ doing?

DuPont™ has sent out field teams across the country to gather more information as to the reason for this problem. As of today, Dupont™ has not provided us any information on their response to this issue, how long it will last, or the severity of the damage to the trees. We will keep you updated as soon as information becomes available.

Dupont™ had advised that affected trees be adequately watered once every 14 days. Also, avoid pruning and tree fertilization to the affected trees.

L.C.S. Response:

1. Our first priority is to identify the customers that are showing these symptoms.
