buckthorn

wildfire

5 year old buck +
Am I chasing deer out of my woods by spraying buckthorn. Have been spraying the last 3 weeks. Use 1 part triclopr 3 parts diesel. Have used 15 gallons of triclopr. Takes 4 hours to go thru 2 gallons of spray.
 
The neighbors seem to be disappearing too.
 
It's a tough battle!!

It's everywhere!!!!
 
I've read that fall is the best time to spray buckthorn. Heres from an article put out buy the WI DNR

Mark honeysuckle and buckthorn for fall control
Early spring is also a good time to be on the lookout for honeysuckle and buck-thorn, Kearns says. These invasive shrubs leaf out early. Mark them with your GPS unit or flagging tape and come back in the fall to control them. Controlling these shrubs involves cutting the stems and treating them with an herbicide. Spring treatments usually aren’t as effective be-cause the sap flow pushes the herbicide out.
