- Herbicides can be applied in numerous way to increase effectiveness and minimize risk. This video touches on the "why" and "what" of herbicides use and demonstrates 3 applications methods.
Thanks for the warning about the gloves. Much appreciated!
Terrific! Thanks for making this - much appreciated…
First episode I didn't get to watch live - great job as always Adam!
Recommendation -- It would be helpful to specify what you mean by "full strength," because there are many different commercially available formulations of herbicides. For example, Roundup sells several versions of concentrated glyphosate, each containing a different percentage of glyphosate.
Digging the hat, Adam!
Thanks!
wow so much good information thank you!
prayer LORD thank you for adam, please bless him
in Jesus name amen
thank u, what if this tree was next to a - for example- a garage - after it starts to die, will fall over, what happens after it dies,
Dead trees can remain standing for a long time - depending on the species and the climate. However, we do not recommend creating dead trees that are near something of value (a house, garage, pool, etc.) In that case, it would be best to hire a professional arborist to cut it down.
What about drilling a hole and filling it with glyphosate on tree of paradise?
This can also work. Glyphosate is not as effective as triclopyr. As such, repeated applications are more likely to be needed.
Should we mix herbice with water for big tree
This will depend on what chemical you plan on using. You should always follow the instructions on the label of the specific chemical you are using.
For the hack n squirt which garlon?
I'm sorry for the delay in reply. Hack n Squirt can be effective with triclopyr amine (Garlon 3A is one of many of the brand names). Glyphosate (aka roundup) is also able to be applied by this method but should be done late summer or early fall for best efficacy.
thanks adam!
what level of concentration for the late summer early fall of glyphosate?
Strip the bark around the circumference.
Striping the bark alone, will not kill the tree's root system. Appropriate herbicides are needed to kill the root system to prevent resprouting.
your the best adam!
thank you for following up years later!
How long before a species is considered indigenous? If they've been around since before the dinosaurs, perhaps that's long enough.
Good question and an interesting one to debate. Most of these are relative new comers to North America. And as for me, I will do what I can to give native plants a better chance by discouraging non-native invasive plants.
Doesn't really matter. If they were here before humans, they'd probably be considered native (indigenous) --- because who'd know if they weren't, (they'd probably be troublesome if they didn't actually evolve here though). However, if the plants don't cause problems people generally don't worry much about them. If they are problematic, then eliminate them. Those troublesome species can be non native or native. My biggest problem is hickory.
