  • Asked by Mark from Pompano Beach , Florida
    01/26/2019
    Q
    Will Tordon RTU kill Schefflera tree stumps?
    A

    Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide is not labeled for Schefflera trees.  Schefflera actinophylla is very invasive and hard to kill.  We do not carry products labeled specifically for it.  An article from the US Military’s Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan states that Garlon 4 has been used in some instances and proved to be effective, although it is not labeled for it.  We would recommend speaking with your local master gardner for more recommendations.

    Q
    Will Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide kill Catalpa trees?
    A

    Yes, Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide will kill Catalpa trees. According to the product label, Tordon RTU should not be applied to 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.”

    Q
    Would Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide kill through the cut of a woody stem on Wisteria?

    Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide is not labeled to control Wisteria, so we do not recommend it for this application. Keep in mind, too, that Tordon is not approved for use on residential properties at all. You could use a brush killer such as Crossbow or Fertilome Brush and Stump Killer to control wisteria vines.

    Q
    Will Tordon RTU kill a Norwegian maple stem and root system?
    A

    Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide is labeled to control maples in general, though we are not sure if it has been tested specifically on Norwegian maples. Keep in mind that Tordon RTU should not be used on residential properties at all: this product has a very long half-life and can affect other plants near the treatment area for years after application. Please let us know if you need a recommendation for an alternate product.

    05/31/2017
    Q
    How soon before I can plant another tree within a few feet where I used Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide on an ornamental tree?
    A

    The new tree planting would need to be well outside the root zone that has been treated with Tordon RTU Speciality Herbicide. The product label states: Untreated trees can occasionally be affected by root uptake of herbicide through movement into the 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 desireable trees unless such injury can be tolerated.
