Any place they can dig in, and grow, they do. The time of year to clean them out.

They seem to be ten feet high at birth! They grow back of course. We should find our Tordon to paint the stumps.

Pine Wilt killed off most all of the Austrian pine trees my father planted 60 years ago. So we plant Eastern Red Cedars for a windbreak.
They thrive in fences, and ditches, plant then in rows, and they die!

Girdling is a good way to kill the tree so it won't root sucker like a cottonwood, Russian olive etc. Takes a year to kill sometimes but is final. Can be done chemically it mechanically. Spraying the tree with the herbicide habitat will probably work too, double check the label. If you need it gone right now then chainsaw as low as you can go and paint the outside rings of the stump with concentrated round up. That part of the tree is the phloem and what carries all the nutrients, water etc throughout the plant, sort of like blood vessels in us. The inner structural part of the tree doesn't so applying chemical there is wasting it. Often pulling root suckering trees will break the root tips leaving them to reproduce. If they are a nuisance then I suggest taking them out when they are younger, than ones been around a while.
Beware of any old man in a profession where one usually dies young.

There should be a law angst planting those ceders I'm renting a pasture that T is infested I can't keep up its an 80 and she only charges me for the open grass over half has overgrown from neglect..mainly because the back half is cut off by a creek that the crossing washed out 30 years ago. Some of the trees are 30 40 ft tall on the grass side and an unbelievable amount of tiny ones.. I use pasture guard in the fertilizer but those ceders are tough. I have been chilling away at it with my ate tree cutter and its world great but doesn't seem like I put a dent locust is a huge problem too.
