Hack and squirt recipe

[Bowsnbucks]

It worked great. Here's a clump of Tree of Heaven I killed by basal spraying. This is from the first fall after spraying that spring. I wish I'd have taken some pics this past spring. I do need to go heavier with thinning in some areas. View attachment 71567

Good work, Ben. Nothing like the sight of dead TOH. They're all along our roads here. Someone must be treating them, or a natural disease / fungus is killing them.

Anyone else done battle with black locust? My results with Tordon are not a good as I'd hoped on the larger trees.

I remember watching a video of hack and squirt, using hatchets. Went out and bought an good quality hatchet from Sherrill Tree. I quickly found that striking a black locust with a sharp hatchet was a lot like striking a sidewalk with a metal baseball bat.
