Hack & Squirt One Year Later
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 26. 05. 2019
- In this video I inspect the hack & squirt I performed one year ago in the north woods. Hack and squirt is a method of killing trees while leaving them standing. The reason to leave them standing is to allow them to dry in place to use as firewood at a later date, to provide habitat for bugs, birds, bats and other wildlife, or simply because there is no time to burn a big pile of trees at the moment.

Thanks for the update!
You are entirely welcome!
Great video. Happy landscaping 2023!
Thanks! You too!
beautiful puppy!
Thank you!
Nice
Thank you!
Your link to the products points to 4 products. Do you mix them all and if so how much and how often do I need to hack and spray?
Big job. I see you are being invaded with that damned garlic mustard too. That stuff has spread like the plague over the last ten years or so. Geesh....
Yea, we have several large patches that I am hoping to kill back this year. Nasty stuff!
What a difference a year makes, as I recall last year you could barely walk through there without the buckthorn?!
Yup! -- but now there is the garlic mustard to get rid of. Once that is gone and native grasses ate planed it will be a lot easier to upkeep!
They wouldnât let me kill buckthorn . Fish n wildlife wouldnât .
wen is the best time off year for Hack & Squirt after sommer ?
Any time of the year except when the sap is flowing in the spring.
Off topic, but the truth is that I didn't actually see or hear anything in the video after I saw the border collie puppy. Three years later and I still miss my old BC.
I feel your pain Jimmy! They are a wonderful little dog for sure, and incredibly intelligent! Ours is named Izzy, and comes from a professional breeder who trains border collies to herd Angus cattle. đ
I have 12 acres left to hack. I have went thought 7 1/2 gallons of Drexel herbicide already mixing 1:1 ratio.
Hi, the video is good, but he doesn't say what he uses!! You say you use Drexel herbicide and what do you mix it with? thank you.
@@mariavasilopoulos8496 water. 16oz of Drexel herbicide that the fish and wildlife recommends. And 16 oz of water . No need o shake up.
@@mariavasilopoulos8496 get a squirt bottle that has the measurements on it. Donât over fill it has to be half and half or it wonât work.
Can you hack on the Bottom of the tree or does it need to be in the middle?
Yes, you can hack it down-low. It would likely work better, but I have a bad back and hate to bend đ
What's your hack 'n squirt protocol? I've heard 1 hack and 1ml of solution per 3" of diameter.
That is what I shoot for, but I kind of play it by ear. Some trees -- especially clonal trees like aspen -- take a bit more. One squirt per cut is supposedly the right dose, but it all depends on the squirt bottle. The one I use is a bit 'challenged' in quantity so I just watch how much is going into the cut. The amount of cuts is also about right, but the type of tree and time of year make a difference. The best time to hack and squirt is mid to late winter. The worst time is Spring or as soon as the tree is coming out of dormancy. Hope that helps! There is a newer video from a week ago as well if you're interested: czcams.com/video/UGG-CkonCgQ/video.html
Can you use tordon as well after making the cut around the tree? Thanks
I don't going the woods without gloves on and knee boots jeans s tucked into boots and a hoodie. If I get poison ivy I have to get a shot.
I am the opposite. I can handle poison ivy without any reaction - but I have yet to see any on our property. It just doesn't seem to grow here.
So now that you've used pesticide on these trees to kill them... are they still viable for firewood?
Yes.
I hack and squirt a 25 foot Sissoo tree almost 2 months ago in my backyard. I don't want it to fall on it's own because it may damage a wall or possible go into a neighbors yard.
I'd like to wait longer before I have it cut down since money is tight.
Do you know how long a 25 foot tree will stay standing?
I have no experience with that type of tree, but around here it generally takes a year or so for the tree to die, then a couple of years before the top falls off. I haven't seen one yet fall over from the base but i guess that's possible. Usually they start loosing branches then the top, little by little. Again, I cant say what your tree will do but generally they take awhile and don't just tip over.
@@PlanetMojo Okay, great. Thanks for responding.
Which chemical did you use for the trees ??
I believe I used Tryclopyr, red dye, and methylated seed oil as a surfactant:
Triclopyr gallon â amzn.to/36lUcXX
Triclopyr quart â amzn.to/3aIjAKT
Fiskars Hatchet â amzn.to/2UDUBmr
Methylated Seed Oil â amzn.to/371Kpqn
Can you kill a ten foot tree using this method to squirt concentrated 18% glysophate roundup?
Should work. Some trees are much harder to kill than other - especially clonal trees like birch or aspen.
Hack them all the way around in the heat of the day with no rain in the forecast for at least 3 days.
How many feet should I stay away from a house? Or near by residents?
There is no limit that I know of. You wouldn't want people touching the wet solution, but once it's dry it's not toxic to humans or anything.
@@PlanetMojo from the trees falling after
They
Rot
@@Eastky23wildlife If the tree is near a house you should probably just cut it down. With this method they rot and fall wherever.
@@PlanetMojo Can you please tell me what I should use for a Mulberry Tree to k..l it! thanks.
@@mariavasilopoulos8496 You can kill a mulberry with glyphosate if you like. We killed two of them while we were clearing. Just look for a brush killer at the big box store and use in full strength the way I do it in the video. You don't need dye if you are only killing one tree.
Glyphosate is deadly 2 beech đČ.
Yes it is.
Will this work all year long?
Hi David. Yes you can hack & squirt all year long. It works very well in late fall like now and is less effective in spring when the sap is flowing strongly, but it will work any time of year.
@@PlanetMojo thanks
@@DavidMiller-jc4pl Any time David đ
Large maples are hard to hack yâall better get ur technique on point.
Why not saw the trees you dont wantâŠmost of them look as if it would be a quick as hack and squirt given that glyphosate etc is carcinogenic
Glyphosate is not carcinogenic. Not in the least bit.
