Hitting them with 1 part Remedy Ultra and 3 parts diesel. Add a little blue dye to keep track of who got whacked in the patch and prepare for a sunburn lol. So far have put down about 16 gallons of spray and things are browning up nicely. Patch right of fence below was sprayed a week ago. Their dead now.

Planning on letting that field grow all summer and doing a late winter burn to clean it up. Lot of yucca carcasses lol.

Had quite a few on a ranch I was clearing last summer.

Used the root rake attachment on my loader, and they came right out. Piled them with the brush for burning.

30338, the Remedy and diesel with kill just about anything. wink

Girdling some big locust trees and coating them with it too. So hoping your are correct on that! Kill the yuccas and cleaning up that pasture. Hoping the native stuff grows like crazy.

Is Remedy the same as cycloplor? I have been using it with diesel or used motor oil to kill mesquite trees and yuccas. Seems to work. Cut up the tree for firewood and pour on the stump to keep it from growing back.

Remedy is Triclopyr, so it may be the same active ingredient.

I stand corrected. It is Triclopyr not cycloplor. Thank you for that. It does seem to work well and doesn't take a lot.

Going back and forth on Triclopyr and Remedy. Triclopyr was on sale so it gets the call on next few spraying days. Both seem to do the trick nicely though.

Pathway (bulk version of Tordon RTU) works good also for stump treatment and girdling.

Will go check this giant locust next time I am back there. This one got the Triclopyr treatment and girdled. Had a question on why girdling a locust and ones this big I don't feel like felling at the moment. But do feel like killing.

Double girdle very rarely doesn't work. Just gotta watch for sprouts below the cuts.

Certain trees I really enjoy killing; junipers, locust, and bradford pear are near the top!

The spray recipe for sure works. Followed up by spraying a few survivors this weekend and started on a new patch. Saw a new fawn, saw a good amount of quail, had a turkey still gobbling, and overall had a great work weekend with my son. Pic of yuccas I sprayed in April.

Killed a few more yuccas last few days. Checked on a few of the locusts. Girdled, sprayed cut with triclopyr and have a dead locust or 12. Tempted to pile up cedars under them and try to burn them standing. Cutting and stacking them is nasty at best.

Pull 'em right out! wink

Been using the puller with my loader quite a bit lately.

This is a 16" oak tree.

Pull, stack and burn.

We have yuccas in the corner of the yard, previous owner planted them.
In 21 years I haven seen the need to bother them. The hold the bank.

Somebody, power company or neighbor, sprayed them 2 years ago.
Big bastards, they were brown, stone dead.
I was pissed. In my yard no one had good reason to do it.

Come spring. There're baaaack. And as healthy as ever!

I did need to kill ones at the corner of the porch.
Repeated heavy mixed glyphosate did it.
When they come back, hit them quick.
Might take a couple shots.
