Blackberry Removal

If you wanna kill big leaf maples cut them off. Bore the stump with the nose of your chainsaw or use a big drill bit.Pouring straight glyosphate might do the trick but something like Garlon Tordon, etc nasty stuff will kill it. Gotta do it when the stump is fresh.

But the best place to pour the Tordon is around the outer edge - at the growth ring. The middle does not matter. You want to apply it within 15 minutes of cutting because the tree will try to protect itself by closing those pores that got cut.

I think even more effective are near-vertical hatchet cuts around the trunk. Peel back an outer layer flap and dribble Roundup or whatever right into the growth layer.
