Basal bark application

Having several acres of field that has been neglected for decades, the birds have kindly seeded it with nuisance Autumn Olives in several areas. As some have crept in between desirable trees, I did not want to try a foliar kill that might directly impact the nicer treesvia drift. Having seen a video on basal bark treatments, I thought I'd give it a try as it is precise and cost efficient - a definite requirement for this $100/gal. formulation. Mixed at 1:3 with diesel, careful application at the bottom 1.5' of the trunks yielded positive and observable results with shriveling & dropping leaves within only 5 days or so. I will be monitoring for any soil migration of the herbicide on neighboring vegetation over the next season as this stuff is potent!

A little slow but does work
By Mameshiba on 05/01/2020

Within 2 days wild garlic collapsed. Within 4 days dandelions and oxalis started to go. Within 5 days Canadian thistle was struggling. I had very little drift with it though my backpack sprayer's nozzle broke so I could only apply it with a cone-shaped brass nozzle with a fine mist setting at the time. You might have faster results with a regular fan nozzle. Still Ultra works better than the junk I had before.

Am I understanding correctly that Remedy travels through brushed on stems/roots into surrounding soil?
The active ingredient in Remedy Ultra Herbicide, Triclopyr, will travel through the plant, however, it is not known to leach into soil. There is a slight possibility as it does not bind extremely tight to soil, but for most, it is not an issue.

Over spray, or spray drift of Remedy Ultra Herbicide can harm desired plants. While a light over spray won't be enough to kill a fully matured tree, it can certainly kill the leaves it has contacted. The tree should recover in time.

The well is for water for cattle and horses--not human consumption.
Usually so long as you are not applying Remedy Ultra Herbicide over the well and keeping applications at least 15 feet away from the well, a herbicide can be used. You may want contact the manufacturer directly for further details. DOW can be reached at at 800.992.5994 .

The best time to apply Remedy Ultra Herbicide is when the plants are actively growing and temps are above 55 degrees however Ester formulations such as Remedy Ultra Herbicide are known to still be effective in cooler temperatures. We do not recommend spraying when temperatures are below 45 degrees.

Multi stem mesquite less than four feet tall
If I spray outer edges inside a greenhouse this fall could it effect vegetable production next spring. Approximately 6 months prior to transplanting
I am a small, older woman and plan to cut the smaller buckthorn plants to the ground, then spray with Remedy Ultra. For the larger buckthorn trees someone will help me cut them to the ground. Can I spray the stumps in the same way? My Remedy Ultra supply is more than three years old. Is it still effective, perhaps with less diluting?
The mixing ratio of Remedy Ultra Herbicide is 1.28 - 1.92 fl. oz. per gallon of water for spot treatments. For smaller volume treatments, a 1 gallon hand pump sprayer needs to be used, this should not be applied using a hand held trigger spray bottle.
For stump treatments, you would use 25 fl oz to 38.4 fl oz per gallon of water, being sure to get the outer layers and cambium of the stump. You will still need to remove the stumps and root systems physically after using herbicides to stop regrowth.

Remedy Ultra Herbicide will suppress huisache. While a light over spray won't be enough to kill a fully matured tree, it can certainly kill the leaves it has contacted. The tree should recover in time.

Over spray, or spray drift of Remedy Ultra Herbicide can harm desired plants. While a light over spray won't be enough to kill a fully matured tree, it can certainly kill the leaves it has contacted. You may want to consider applying as a cut stump treatment directly to the freshly cut trunk of the shrub to prevent any overspray or drift onto exposed roots or limbs of the live oak.
Refer to the product label for more information.
Remedy Ultra Herbicide is not labeled to kill or control ginkgo trees. Using a non selective glyphosate herbicide and applying as a cut stump method is a very common way to kill unwated trees. Another method would be girdling which is where you remove the bark completely around the circumference of the tree. This prevents the tree from being able to transport nutrients from the leaves to the roots.
We would recommend consulting with a local arborist for their recommendations they have shown to be successful in your area for killing ginkgo trees or your local County Cooperative Extension Office for their herbicide recommendations.
