I'm trying to reclaim some pasture that "got away from me" I was too busy with my vet work for a few years and failed to mow it yearly-and now some of it's a mess.
Something I tried this year is basal bark treatment with 1:3 Remedy/diesel. A hand sprayer and just wet the bottom 12-18" of the tree. This is on honey locust up to 2 1/2 to 3 in diameter.
I did some in February and they actually leafed out and it looked like a failure! But in a couple weeks they turned yellow and were dying. They lost all leaves and I sheared them off in July, hopefully they are dead and don't recover.
Spraying stumps as I shear them doesn't work well as I'm a one man band most of the time and that means climbing in and out of the tractor repeatedly. Can't do a bunch and then spray as you can't find the stumps sheared at ground level.
