Will from Banks, Or writes
I have a ditch full of cottonwood trees, 2' saplings to 20' tall, 4” diameter trees. If I spray them with a 5 or 6 oz to the gallon mix will it kill them?
In order to kill a tree, you would get the best results cutting the tree down to a stump and treating the fresh cut stump directly. If the trunk diameter is less than 6-8 inches, then you could potentially do a basal bark treatment with Crossbow Specialty Herbicide.You would mix 1.25 to 5 ounces per gallon of solution, mixing in diesel No. 1 or 2 or kerosene, then spraying the basal part of the tree up to a height of 15-20 inches off the ground. If you do not need this much product, then could also use Fertilome Brush Killer and Stump Killer.
