Q

Tordon RTU was applied to some bush and tree stumps. We are now seeing wilting of other bushes and perennials
Is there anything we can apply to amend the soil and stop the damage?

A

Since the active ingredient in Tordon RTU is known to leach into the soil, we recommend digging 6 inches deep srrounding the affecting bushes and perennials and replacing it with fresh soil.

Q

Which is the better product to remove bradford pear tree stumps and kill suckers? Fertilome or Tordon RTU?
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.

A

Either product would do a great job. When using a stump killer, you may have to use the product undiluted on some trees and paint it directly on the freshly cut stump for maximum absorption. Since the Tordon has a larger label of trees covered under treatment, we would recommend this over the Fertil…
