Very rare to find a tree treatment that does modify the tree or change the tree.
Plants are poor at excreting or breaking down chemicals once they enter the plant circulatory system.
Mostly what you see is systemic insecticides/fungicides that are essentially bug spray that is floating around throughout the plant until something eats it, or the chemical gets stuck in plant tissue that falls off the tree.
