Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide is 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. Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide is a ready-to-use (RTU) product that requires no measuring or mixing and is simple to use. Simply put it into a spray bottle and spray. Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide makes it easy to see where you have been with a convenient blue dye that marks each stump or tree you spray.
Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide works by translocating through the tree and into the root system to prevent resprouts. The no freeze formulation makes working in cold weather easy.
Tordon RTU should not be applied on residential or commercial lawns or near desirable trees and shrubs.

Tordon RTU should not be applied on residential or commercial lawns or near ornamental trees and shrubs. 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.
Do not contaminate cropland, water, or irrigation ditches.

Tordon Herbicide

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!!!

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.

If so, is there a safe radius one should keep out of as far as neighboring trees and shrubs close to stump being treated?
I saw the Fertilome Stump Killer (active ingredient: Triclopyr) and the Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide on your website. Just wondering which will be the most effective stump/ sucker killer for some Bradford Pear trees that we have cut down. There are several triclopyr-based herbicides and wondering which one is the best for this application.

We would recommend using Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide for ailanthus altissima, or tree of heaven. A tree injection, frill/girdle method or a stump treatment can be done with this product. Please be sure to check the label for instructions on how to do this.

Yes, Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide is effective in killing over 20 different woody species, including cedar, and preventing resprouting of those cut trees. Unfortunately, it is hard to say for sure how long it will take because the kill time is due in part to many environmental factors. If you need further assistance you may contact Dow AgroSciences at 800-992-5994.

No, Tordon RTU Herbicide is not labeled for ficus bushes or trees. We would recommend using something like Fertilome Brush Killer and Stump Killer to eliminate ficus trees. You will cut the tree down and apply the product directly to stump undiluted.

I would like to use a hack and squirt method.
We would recommend using Remedy Ultra Herbicide. It is labeled for honey locust, as well as various other woody brush as well.
Foliar: Only apply to plants that are in full leaf during application
Basal Bark: 20 to 30 gallons with oil to make 100 gallons and Spray Plant and Tree Trunks 12 to 15 inches from the ground until fully wet
Cut Stump: 20 to 30 gallons with oil to make 100 gallons and Spray the Root Collar area, Sides of the Stump, and the Outer Portion of the Cut Surface, until fully wet

I have scotch broom through out my lawn which was previously a cow field which was covered mostly with scotch broom
Unfortunately, Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide is not labeled for scotch broom. You could use a product that we have called Crossbow Specialty Herbicide. Per an article from Oregon State University Extension Service this product would be effective.

Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide is not labeled to control willow sprouts, so we are not sure if it would be effective for this application. We do sell other products such as Fertilome Brush Killer and Stump Killer that can be used to treat willow sprouts. You would cut the stumps and apply the product undiluted to the fresh cuts.
