  • Asked by Jon from Junction City

    Q
    I hacked and squirted numerous trees (cherry, willow, hazel) with Tordon RTU around the property approx 3 weeks ago and see no affect as they are budding and look just the same as untreated trees. How long does it take for them to begin dying?
    A

    Only cherry is listed the label of Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide for being controlled by it so the others may not be effected by it.  If needed another application can be made to the cherry after 30 days.  How long it takes to completely kill a tree depends on the size of the tree and health so …

    Q
    Will Tordon RTU work on small Indian Laurel Trees which are growing out of a building?
    They are growing from bird droppings, and I am worried about damage to the structure of the building. Should I cut the trees first? or apply direct to the plant. How long after application should I wait before cutting the tree/root system out of the building.
    A

    Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide does not list Indian Laurel as a controlled tree.  It does appear that these are best treated when they are small and not fruiting.  You can try something like RoundUp QuikPro applied to the cut stump but if they are large trees it might be best to contact a tree re…

    Q
    Will Tordon RTU get rid of bamboo? If not, do you have a recommendation?
    I have a stand of bamboo that was recently cut to ground level.
    A

    Tordon RTU is not labeled for bamboo. Since bamboo roots go so deep, you would need to apply either a product like Roundup QuikPro at the highest rates directly to the freshly cut stumps of the bamboo after you cut it down level to the ground, or use a brush and stump killer undiluted directly o…

    Q
    Can Tordon RTU be used for buckthorn?
    A

    Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide is not labeled for buckthorn.  Crossbow or RoundUp can be used to kill cut stumps.  Apply immediately after cutting the stump to prevent resprouting.  There is a great article here from the Dept of Natural Resources in Minnesota that may be helpful.

    Q
    Will Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide speed up the killing process on trees that have had a ring cut around it?
    I cut a ring around large trees to kill them, but it takes a while for them to die.
    A

    Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide can be applied via tree injection, frill or girdle treatment, or stump treatment as directed on page 3 of the product label. Frill or Girdle Treatment is the closest to what you are describing. Per the label: Make a single hack girdle or "frill" of overlapping ax cuts…

    Q
    Will Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide kill cactus?
    A

    Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide is not specifically labeled to control cacti, but some articles recommend this active ingredient to aid in control. One very difficult part of controlling this plant is that all debris must be removed from the area to prevent resprouting. Unfortunately, we do not have…

    Q
    Can I use Tordon RTU to treat mulberry trees coming up in my lilac bush hedge?
    Would the roots of mulberry and lilac be intertwined that it would kill possibly both. if I was to only cut and paint the mulberry with Tordon?
    A

    Tordon RTU is not labeled to control mulberry, so we would not recommend using this product to control it. We would recommend cutting the mulberry that you want to kill and treating the fresh cuts with Fertilome Brush and Stump Killer at full strength brushed onto them.
