In the midst of a never-ending war with Western Hackberry here, around the foundation and along the fencelines. Seems like the bird poop seed dispersal system works as advertised.
These things grow a root that goes on forever which is why they survive droughts so well, and why they keep coming back no matter how many times you cut 'em to the ground.
Time to get all chemical on their collective masses. When I cut 'em off at ground level, what can I apply to the stump to take 'em out permanent? Harsh chemicals OK long as I can get 'em over the counter, wife justs wants them dead.
Thanks,
Mike

I'd suggest using 2-4-D following label suggestions. Too much chemical will top kill and the active ingredient will not move to the roots. Spray on the foliage and do not cut down until top kill has occurred. Associated grasses will be unaffected.
Some species can be resistant and one may have to hit them a couple years in a row.
Roundup will kill everything, and one leaves a void that's quickly invaded by some other weed.

Mike,
I buy generic Roundup and a herbicide called 'Rely' Remedy, that's it!, or something like that at my co-op and mix equal parts with a lot of water. It's a 'hot' (in the words of the sales guy) mixture that kills anything green. I had some suckers at one of my peach trees and sprayed the suckers---killed them and has just about killed the tree. No loss since brown rot has invaded. I'll get the name for sure and let you know.

Yep, Tordon on fresh cut stumps. Remedy (1 quart to 3 quarts diesel) sprayed in a 1 foot band up the trunk, will kill them when they're still standing, and may be a better option if you want the tree to "circulate" some stuff around before cutting it down. Both can be found at the local Tractor Supply.

Have you tried going below ground level a bit and filling the hole with salt?
Another idea would be to ring the tree although it would not be an instant out of the way kind of thing.

Crossbow works on any brush around here, plus it won't kill the grass. Available at the farm stores.

We use a chemical called Remedy to kill all woody plants including small oak trees. It costs about $100 a gallon, but goes a long way.
Might be what Mickey is talking about. Not sure if you can buy it without a license where you live tho.

Tordon is what you want, but some states like Colorado won't sell it to private individuals. A licensed commercial spray Co can only buy it. Pretty pricey. I just had some brought back from MO though.

Tordon is about $20 a quart and Remedy is $89 a gallon at Tractor Supply. Neither needs a license in Texas. Tordon comes in a squirt bottle you apply directly to the stump. Mix the Remedy as I advised.

Mix the Remedy as I advised. Tordon is absolutely restricted use in Texas! This is what I do for a living, so my recommendation would be a 25% solution of triclopyr (Remedy or Garlon) in diesel sprayed on the tree base up to about 18 inches or on the stump if you plan on cutting it first. I am currently developing a new herbicide specifically for this purpose, but we won't have a Section 3 label until sometime this Fall, hopefully. ![[Linked Image]](http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b218/BRISTECD/2fd6eae241c0f9ed9114083b6dafbfdd.jpg)

Garlon is what they are using on cut tamarisk stumps around here. I don't know anything else about it.
