Untreated trees can occasionally be affected by root uptake of herbicide through movement into the topsoil or by excretion of the product from the roots of nearby treated trees. Do not apply Tordon RTU within the root zone of desirable trees unless such injury can be tolerated.

Residual long term collateral damage
By Tothetune on 04/02/2019
Applied to sissoo stump 8/2014, trees 15 feet away still showing signs of damage 4 1/2 years later. Hot climate (AZ) did not help it degrade evidently. Would never use again. Have used roundup concentrate on stumps without issue.

Tordon Herbicide
By Jenny on 10/25/2019
I have been fighting elm tree seedlings for years. I discovered this product and am very pleased with the effective termination of unwanted trees. It was so effective that I ordered more! I vigilantly wear latex gloves to apply and with the dispenser cap provided, it is easy to pour directly onto the growth ring of a fresh cut tree. My only problem is finding a good chain saw person to follow around my properties to really get them all!!!

good product

Wiped out my leafy spurge!
By Victoria on 07/21/2016
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.
I suspect a neighbor might be trying to kill off my trees using a restricted poison like Tordon so I need to know how to prove it.
Unfortunately testing for the use of Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide is outside the area of our expertise. We suggest contacting your local agricultural organization for assistance.
Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide effective in killing over 20 different woody species and preventing sprouting of cut trees in non-crop areas like forests, right-of-ways, roadsides, and fence rows. Complete list of controlled trees can be found on the product label.
The stump is about 10" I'm diameter
Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide states to not apply during the spring sap flow on the product label.
Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide can affect plants in the area where you have treated the stump after cutting down the trees if the stumps roots are in the same area as desirable plant roots. Untreated trees/plants can occasionally be affected by root uptake of this herbicide through movement into the the topsoil or by excretion of the product from the roots of nearby treated trees. You should not apply Tordon RTU within the root zone of desirables unless such injury can be tolerated. Tordon RTU also is not labeled for use in residential areas due to its long half-life and this possibility of movement in the soil.

Does the cut stump need to be flat or can it be cut at 20 to 30 degree angle due to being cut with a air powered 6' loper
It is recommend cutting off the top layer of the stump flat for a fresh application of Tordon RTU. You can also do application by drilling holes into the top surface of the stump. If you have any further questions please contact the manufacturer Dow Agrosciences at 800-992-5994.

There is a stump I treated 2 months ago that I am considering burning and want to know if this can be done safely.
We recommend reaching out to the manufacturer of Tordon RTU to better assist you regarding your question. You may reach them at (+1-800-992-5994) to reach their Customer Information Center by pressing Option #4 for information such as label, MSDS and other product-related and technical detail.
Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide will be safe as long as it is applied correctly and you keep your pets out of the area while making an application and let it all completely dry before letting them back outside. Typically after a few hours.

Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide needs to be applied to a fresh cut stump but is not labeled to control evergreens.
Does this product also kill big tree stumps if you apply enough
Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide is labeled to be used on woody plants and trees such as: ailanthus, alder, aspen, birch, cedar, cherry, dogwood, elm, firs, green ash, gum, hawthorn, hickory, hornbeam, maples, oaks, pecan, persimmon, serviceberry, sourwood and sweetbay. It may kill other stumps but we cannot say for sure it would work on those not listed on the label.
Please view instructions on the product label for targeted woody plants control by Tordon in either a Tree Injection Treatment, Frill or Girdle Treatment and Stump Treatments.
If so when is the best month to cut them and apply to the autumn olives?
Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide is only labeled to control Woody plants: ailanthus, alder, aspen, birch, cedar, cherry, dogwood, elm, firs, green ash, gum, hawthorn, hickory, hornbeam, maples, oaks, pecan, persimmon, serviceberry, sourwood and sweetbay

Tordon RTU Spray is not labeled for Walnut Trees therefore we cannot confirm if it would be effective in killing the tree. Black Walnut tree roots can spread out 50-80ft from the tree and are known for resprouting. The most recommended treatment is to cut the stump as low to the ground as possible and apply a product with the active ingredient Glyphosate directly to the freshly cut stump. Direct stump treatments is going to be your best option and will take several months and maybe longer since this tree is so old. Roundup QuickPRO has Diquat as 1 of the 2 ingredients works for a faster knockdown and absorbs throughout the root system better. Drilling into the stump is also sometimes done for the herbcide to absorb quicker into the tree.
