Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle
Treevive Kaua’i exists to be a steward of our island’s palms. By applying proven, science-based treatments and systemic injections, we combat the destructive Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle with precision and care.
Our mission is rooted in both protecting the health of today’s trees and protecting palms as a vital cultural and natural heritage of Kaua’i for future generations. Through community partnership and professional arborist expertise, we preserve paradise one palm at a time.
We understand the concern many have when hearing that coconut trees are being “injected” or treated systemically. At Treevive Kaua‘i, we want to be completely transparent and clear — our goal has always been to protect, not harm, the trees, the coconuts, and the people who enjoy them.
Please reach us at info@treevivekauai.com | (808) 639-2288 if you cannot find an answer to your question.
As ISA Certified Arborists (WA-14012A), we bring both scientific expertise and local experience to every job. Unlike quick surface treatments that offer only temporary relief, Treevive Kaua’i uses the most effective, proven method available today — systemic trunk injections. This advanced approach delivers treatment directly into the tree’s vascular system.

🌱 Certified Expertise – With ISA credentials, you can be confident your palms are cared for using industry-approved, environmentally responsible practices.
🛡️ Protecting Your Investment – Healthy palms increase property value and preserve the natural beauty of Kaua’i.
🤝 Local Commitment – This isn’t just a business; it’s our community. We are dedicated to safeguarding Kaua’i’s trees for future generations.
When you choose Treevive Kaua’i, you’re not only protecting your trees — you’re helping to preserve the island’s paradise from one of its most dangerous threats.
At Treevive Kaua’i, we believe caring for palms is about more than maintenance — it’s about protecting the beauty, culture, and future of our island. Our services are designed to provide homeowners, resorts, and property managers with peace of mind, knowing their trees are in the hands of an ISA Certified Arborist. From personalized consultations to advanced CRB treatments, expert pruning, and cost-saving care packages, we offer science-based solutions that keep your palms healthy, beautiful, and resilient for generations to come.
Palm injections deliver specially formulated solutions — such as insecticides, fungicides, or nutrients — directly into the tree’s vascular system. This method allows the palm to absorb the treatment quickly and evenly, targeting pests or diseases from the inside out. It’s more effective and environmentally friendly than spraying since it eliminates chemical drift and surface runoff.
To protect trees from the Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (CRB), we use a precise trunk injection method. We drill a small hole, insert a plug, and inject the solution directly inside — ensuring it stays sealed with no leakage. This delivers the treatment right where the tree can absorb it, while protecting against infection and reducing environmental impact compared to spraying.
We customize every treatment based on what your palms need most. Here are the four main solutions we use to protect and strengthen your trees:
Yes. Palm injections are one of the safest and most targeted treatment methods available. Because the solution goes directly into the tree, there’s no overspray, no soil contamination, and no risk to pets, people, or surrounding plants when applied correctly. All products we use are registered and approved for landscape use.
For pest control, results can be a few weeks — Ace-Jet kills active beetles on contact.
For nutrient and health treatments, you’ll typically notice greener, fuller fronds within 2 to 4 weeks as the tree absorbs and distributes the nutrients.
The duration depends on the treatment type and the health of your palm:
We generally recommend treatments once or twice a year for optimal protection and vitality.
No. When performed properly, injections are safe and minimally invasive. We drill only small holes into the lower trunk — these close naturally over time as the palm heals. The benefit of targeted treatment far outweighs the minimal wound created during application.
Look for signs like:
If you notice these, call for an inspection — early detection makes all the difference.
Yes — Ace-Jet can stop active infestations by killing beetles on contact. However, severely damaged palms may not fully recover, which is why early treatment and preventative care are key.
Injections deliver 100% of the treatment into the tree, ensuring faster, longer-lasting results. Coconut palms can reach 30–80 feet tall, making spray applications difficult, wasteful, and potentially hazardous. Injections deliver the treatment directly into the tree, ensuring consistent internal protection with no overspray, no chemical drift, and no environmental runoff — making it the safest and most effective option for tall or fruit-bearing palms.
Yellowing or browning fronds often point to nutrient deficiencies (especially magnesium, potassium, or nitrogen) or overwatering/poor drainage. In some cases, it’s caused by root rot or pest activity inside the trunk. A nutrient injection like Palm-Jet can often restore color and strength quickly if caught early.
Sometimes — but most won’t recover fully without help. Palms under stress have weakened immune systems and become targets for pests and rot. Nutrient or fungicide injections can significantly boost their recovery and resilience.
Older palms naturally shed lower fronds as they grow taller, but widespread yellowing, drooping, or crown thinning indicate decline, not aging. Decline usually stems from nutrient loss or disease — both treatable with the right injections.
We always recommend waiting 6 months to a year after treatment before eating any fruit, just as a best practice.
