Ty, great video

I'm having the same issue about to replace my unit now. Tnks.

What's wrong with the tree? Far as I can tell, they just chill.

Thank you so much for these vids

Thank you I don’t know why it was so hard to find a video that actually makes sense.

Poor thing

And now the Lord God has sent the spotted lantern flies to decimate our food crops... Turn back to the Lord and repent otherwise we are doomed.

This is SO HELPFUL!!

I'm glad you've made this video. I did buy a pint of aclaim. I didn't have any Chinese/jap Stilt grass 4 or 5 yrs. ago but now I'm fighting it like crazy. I've been pulling and spraying. not sure what the time line is for the final termination of the invasive plant once sprayed but its seeming to be a bit more difficult to kill. maybe its just a matter of waiting a bit longer? I've been mixing it a bit heavy I think It did kill a bit of my wild ferns, I try to keep a little distance from them and pull the rest but being on a hill side I'm sure it works its way down hill eventually. I payed almost $150.00 now a pint. could maybe find it cheaper somewhere else but I know the economy & Inflation is the past few years has went out the roof $$$$ on everything. Im using a 2 gal sprayer Not sure if im getting my mixture right yet. How does this plant spread so easily what does the seeds look like? I mean its like it spreads like the dew falling on the ground magically, ha,ha, It has even been trying to push its way into my immediate front and back lawns. Ive got about a 3 acre area I think I need to work on section by section which I have for the past 3 years this is the first year I've tried Aclaim though so hopefully this will help catch me up verses pulling by hand. Plus I know Ive got to get other plant life growing in its place eventually. This invasive grass just kills much of the surrounding plant life all around it. chocking off everything it seems. Well thanks again for helping people fight this battle of invasive plant. Im grateful for your help.

I bought a backpack sprayer at Tractor Supply last year, and after watching your video, it's obvious that it's the same as the upgraded Field King sprayer from your link. Mine was branded "Roundup" (until I pulled the sticker) but I can confirm that all the upgraded features are definitely worth the premium. It's still $99 at Tractor Supply although no longer in stock at my local stores.

Do you have to trim the lower leaves off during the growing season?????

I was driving through NJ and PA the other day and this stuff is growing EVERYWHERE. Also probably the reason why there are so many spotted lantern flies.

My bolt broke off inside the sprocket and I don't know how to get it out without damaging the threads that holds the sprocket

Just picked up the DCCS670 (16"). Is there a way to defeat the plastic bar tightener to increase the torque there? The lack of lube holes on the bar tip seems like a weakness. Have you looked at Oregon bars? Any way to add metal dogs for better leverage, or would that stress the engine too much? I will need to avoid pushing the dewalt like I do my old Stihl 024 when I need that top end power. Main use is for opening quad trails for forestry work and layout. Bigger windfalls I leave for the loggers. Red Flag days are a big issue around here so this helps with that too. Thanks for the video - and STAY SAFE!

There is a creek at the bottom of our woodland slope that is dry, unless it rains. I have some 4-6’ TOH near there. Could you tell me what solution to use for a basal bark application? The diameters of the trees are too small for hack and squirt. Thank you so much for all of your informative videos. I am in the Western Hills area of Cincinnati!

China been sending lil shots for yesrs with thisbtree and these stinkbugs and lanterns smh

That last part is where your Cognitive Dissonance really shows. You're looking out over all that ruined ecosystem, even acknowledging that it might have been someone's garden at one time, and then telling folks to go ahead and plant the invasive non-native plant... but keep it contained. You don't want to come straight out and admit that it's a bad idea, that the plant is too much trouble and too high a risk, even as you're standing in the middle of an ecosystem overrun with invasives that are destroying the food web. I've been trying to talk several local churches into doing away with their non-native landscaping by pointing out that God's plan has a greater depth and breadth than we can really understand. Dr. Doug Tallamy touches on this in his videos where he shows who we've so horribly fragmented the local ecosystems that we've seen a 40% decline in insect populations since the 70's. That's basically in my lifetime! How did this happen? Because people forget that while we might be stewards of the land, we don't have perfect understanding of how the ecosystem functions. Think about how Kudzu has ruined millions of acres of ecosystem throughout the south, and is slowly working its way north. That plant was thought to be a great thing by the arrogant fools who promoted it. They thought they knew best. And look at what they accomplished. Look at all those many families who were ruined as their homesteads were overrun and their property values tanked. Look at the ecosystems destroyed. As someone currently battling against invasive plants here on my land, all things planted by previous owners or neighbors, I'm absolutely wrecked by the costs of trying to fend the stuff off so it doesn't ruin my property value. Bamboo, Privet, Creeping Charlie, English Ivy, Wisteria..... every year sees me spending hundreds of dollars in fuel and herbicides, and hundreds of hours of my "leisure" time. And all because people weren't good stewards of the land and didn't appreciate what God put right in front of them. Honestly, this fetishization of foreign plants is a little weird, and it really stands out to me when I can travel all over the country and see the very same plants because everyone's buying from the same growers who promote their stuff in the same few gardening periodicals. If I never see another Crepe Myrtle, I'll be a very happy guy! As The Woodland Steward.... be the steward. Maintain the land as god designed, keep it healthy, and pass it on to the future generations.

We have hundreds of these tress and thousands of suckers. In the two years we have been at our house, they have spread significantly. The original owners may have planted them 14 years ago which would explain why there are so many..

we love our honeysuckle down in southeast texas and southern louisiana. it's so fragrant just like our magnolia trees and without them it would upend our birds & bees energy sources. they don't mind sharing...anywhere i walked as a kid there was bushes everywhere to sip like a mint julip! we wouldn't dream of tearing them down!

I got the same saw today. And my cat is just exactly the sam as yours. They must be sisters.

You like a toy electric saw because it just runs,yet here you ste tebuilding it. And you can buy a shit ton of gas for ehat justbone of those batteries costs. No thanks.

I plant tons of invasives.....tree of heaven is well established, valuable and beautiful.....some people have too much free time.

How to do control without an herbicide?

Is the ratio for basal bark treatment really 5 part triclopyr to 100 part kerosene?

I hate to give a thumbs down, but dude. I already know this. This doesn't help. I live in AZ where they are thriving. I am seeking info on how to make the roots go away from the house. Salt? Soap? I would like more. It's almost impossible to eradicate. Tips. Please. This is clickbait.

Seedbarn now is $155

Happy to see you posting again.

Amazing channel and video

What is the best to use to kill every thing like the rail road use i have fill in my driveway big rock on side of a hill

The boiled one

I love your videos, tree of heaven hadn’t been on my radar until I watched this, walked around our forest and I’ll be they are here. The Japanese honeysuckle, burning bush, Bradford pear and now The tree from Hell.

Interesting video There are species of Eleagnus that are native to some states or America Eleagnus commutata is one of them. Its the manufactured nitrogen that causes problems in the water ways. The stuff they spread on farms on a large scale that causes the wrong type of algae to bloom. In the upper reaches of the river Shirl there are Autumn Olives on both sides and the water is crystal clear and salmon spawn there every year. Think its been like that sinse at least 1860s ish It also grows along rivers in its native lands and again the waters are crystal clear.

Thank you for these videos. We purchased 18 acres (16 wooded) in Pickaway county Ohio near Slate Run State Park. I really respect your love for nature and appreciation for herbicides and chemical science. Unfortunately dealing with invasives is not a fair fight manually. I would love to see a book/guide someday. Pictures of invasives, how to treat (herbicide and percentage of concentrate), what works and what didn’t. Thank you again!

I have them in my backyard. I like the smell - it smells kind of like peanut butter.

You're back!!! Yeah!!! Don't stop please!

I have the exact same sprayer and I echo everything you said. I wish I got the metal wand too, after a couple seasons in a hot shed the plastic one is permanently curved. I'm still waiting to treat stilt grass though, is that a mistake? I was hoping some native annual grasses could finish going to seed before tackling the stilt grass, which I'm hoping it won't flower till late summer.

I’m glad you’re still creating content. Keep filming and editing.

Great to see you posting again. Really appreciate your content!

I woild have used the product before reviewing it.

Have you used the SOLO sprayers? How might they compare?

It's so nice to be back at Oak Haven! Thanks for the info.

Thank you for your review. We have a number of invasives in our woods and it’s so helpful to learn of new tools or better tools to take care of them.

This is a huge help! Love the technique for a large area! I’ve got 97 acres to work on. So many invasives. My technique has been taking so long- tapping the base with full strength round-up with a tiny paint brush.. I’m going to get this equipment! The money invested will be worth it

you're a great teacher!

Your videos are super informative and helpful. I wonder why you haven't posted any more.

The Lanterns love these in NYC! Thx for making this very informative and taught me some useful terminology! I forgot about a 'rachis' lol

Thanks for the helpful points of differentiation for the waterleaf plants!

My grandma has been battling this tree for 20 years

I wonder if the Native Americans in the U.S. feel the same way about the white people ? 🤔

I like the native Pachysandra procumbens (Allegheny Spurge) much better. The leaves are less shiny, brighter green, and the Spring flowers have a nice fragrance unlike the Japanese variety. It is easier to control, too, so less work. Highly recommend that plant if it will grow in your area. I'm in Virginia and it does really well here.
