Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide is not labeled for Japanese Honeysuckle. Crossbow, a formulation of triclopyr and 2,4-D, is a very effective herbicide that controls Japanese honeysuckle. Crossbow should be applied using a hand pump sprayer and mixed according to label instructions for foliar application and applied as a foliar spray. It may be applied at dormant periods but before a hard freeze (25 degrees F). Be careful not to spray so heavily that the herbicide drips off the target species. Retreatment may be necessary for plants that are missed because of dense growth.

Q

Can I use Tordon on trees taken down?
I have just had 20 trees cut from my yard three days ago. The tree gentleman that cut my trees down used it on my Cottonwood.

Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide would be best applied as close to cutting the stump as possible, but you can do it the next day if needed up to a few days later. You just want to be sure it is applied to a fresh cut stump, not one that has been cut weeks prior.

Tordon RTU Specialty Herbicide is not labeled specifically to control prickly pear or other 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 any herbicides currently labeled to control cactus. This Field Guide from the USDA discusses control methods for prickly pear cactus. Another active ingredient mentioned is Fluroxypyr, which we do have in the product E-2 Herbicide. We recommend consulting your local Cooperative Extension office for assistance. Since this is a heavily invasive species of importance, most local offices will want to know where the plant is being found.
