Thought Id share this info that Dr David Mercker put out earlier in year, Ive done quite a bit of hack and squirt with Imazapyr, and had 15 ac lowland with a lot of cypress, tupelo gum, red maple and honey locust. I hate those thorn trees and was already planning to hack em with imazapyr, along with the red maple.
fortunately I took time to read this realized it saved me a lot of work, that would not have done much.
if you have elm, locust, hornbeam and some others, Imazapyr will NOT work on them.
so , I bought 2.5 gallon of picloram 2/4d now . Its has more hacking involved, but;
"if its worth doing, its worth doing right. "
hope this helps.
read the labels, but :
9 0z chem /23 water has worked well for me on imazapyr.( 1 hack per 3-4 in of dbh of tree)
Ill use 50/50 with the picloram. ( one hack every 3 in around tree) little more work
Ill attach the chem sheet with what trees they work well on.
you need a chem card to buy picloram.
