My winter/spring project has been to limit the young trees growing along trails that were put in years ago. I bushhog the trails at least once a year. After lopping the trees for years, I noticed some of the smaller ones, and a few mid-size, have been pulling out, by hand, relatively easy. Then last week I got the tractor and chains and pulled out some of the bigger ones. I do not mind doing this on the flat but some of the trails can be a tad less-than-flat. My question: if I lop them off at the base, should I put Remedy or Tordon RTU on the base?
I am not sure what the trees are. The first picture has been suggested is a callery pear, with similar shoots coming up 25 feet away.
The other pictures have been suggested to be beech. I believe the last pictures are all the same trees, they appear to have the same growth pattern. Also read: "Glyphosate is the most mobile of herbicides within the beech root system, but is non-mobile to other species. You will want to use at least 25% active ingredient of glyphosate and as soon after cutting the beech as possible."
