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. ^^^This will work...

How is it on mesquite? All we ever had was 2-4-D.
Tasahillo (turkey pear)??? Remedy kills mesquite really well. Works great on salt cedar, too.

Tasahillo (turkey pear)??? Triclopyr and diesel work well on mesquite, but not so much on pear species. Surmount or Tordon 22k are probably better. The new herbicide I am working on is dynamite on mesquite and even better on huisache, but it has prickly pear and tasajillo activity at low use rates as well.

Cut the tree down, drill holes in the stump and fill the holes with brush killer a few times.

Another vote for Remedy. Legal over the counter in Texas and it works.
Just mix as most have recommended with diesel and apply.
It will take a year or two on bigger stumps but, they will actually rot away.

Whatever you decide to use, apply it to the fresh cut stump soon. Within five minutes is a good idea before the plant attempts to plug off the xylem and phloem.
BRISTECD, developing your own new chemistry? Damn boy, I am impressed. A mountain of paperwork, trials, and residue crap. I used to be in that a long while back when Sulfonyl Ureas first came out.

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
Hello Mike, you may find Velpar useful...it can also be purchased as "grid-balls" which are tossed out of helicopters for killing boxthorn and such. Do not use around trees unless you want them dead.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

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. Yep! That was the name. Thanks.

Chopper.....its a nasty herbicide, but can be expensive. They use it a lot down here for site prep on tree plantings. Best stuff you can buy.

We used to use a glyphoste mixed 50/50 with water on stumps.
10 percent mix for foliar.
we used to mix Tordon and Garlon. There was some stuff called Arsenal we liked too.
There was a Pathway for stumps that was very effective.

I would contact a local chemical dealer and ask their opinion. all the advice given here to use "parts" diesel fuel are WAY BAD. IF you choose to use diesel as a surfactant never go more than 20%. read here on what they recommend in TX and what to avoid doing, some of it you are getting here for advice. not once has someone said "read the label" it's all homebrews that are likely illegal to do, and for good reason. http://www.texasfarmbureau.org/TexasAgriculture/2002/041902/041902herbicides.htmIF you do decide to wing it and just buy something here and spray, I would start small and work your way up. like using roundup (glyphosate) and a little surfactant. you can always hit it again later. however if you contaminate your soil, there is no remedy for it then. I would be happy to discuss further via pm if you like, I too am a certified commercial pesticide applicator.

LOL, oh yes, I had an extra $200 million lying around and needed something to spend it on. Actually, I am in R&D for a large chemical manufacturer. I just have some responsibilities for South TX brush species. If you worked on the SUs, then there is a good chance we may know one another.
