Derek from Inverness, Il writes
I have many buckthorns that sprout within other bushes like lilacs and boxwoods around my house. If i cut the buckthorn stalk (< 1 inch diameter), and paint on the cut limb, would the tordon leach from the buckthorns root system to the intertwined root system?
Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide does not list buckthorn as a controlled plant, but it is not recommended to use around any desirable vegetation because possible leaching may occur.
