Dow AgroSciences RTU548 Tordon RTU Herbicide QT Size 32_Ounce

Cleaning fence rows. Put this on the stumps they do not grow back.

The stuff WORKS. I absolutely hate having to resort to herbicides but invasive Japanese elm were taking over everything around me. They starved out everything I tried to plant that wasn’t invasive. They have an underground root system and spread like spruce but are far more resistant to any type of parasite or other diseases. Sugar ants LOVE the species and you’ll soon have enormous colonies of them taking over everything including your home. The ants have effectively begun to affect the soil around structures on the ground. Anyway, use it responsibly around your pets and wildlife. Follow instructions carefully. Make cuts in the wood, apply to the wounds then cover everything with plastic barriers and leave it for a few months until the poison is no longer a threat. I used plastic and rubber bands to seal off the poisoned flesh.

Works great on most plants you want to kill. I have used it on Bradford Pears, and Crepe Myrtle with a good kill ratio on plants that come back from thier roots.

We faced the horror movie "The Revenge of the Black Locust" after cutting down and grinding the stump of this pesky tree. Whatever roots remained in the ground were sprouting everywhere, even under the deck where their leafy shoots would find a way up through the cracks between the boards. So I put some Tordon RTU in a contact-lens-solution bottle for easier dispensing and have carefully treated every sprout I see that's more than a few inches tall. This means cutting the sprouts off near the ground with pruning shears and then dripping a few drops of this stuff onto the cut end (the blue dye helps you confirm you hit the target). I was skeptical, but it really has worked. We are now in peak black locust sprout season, and I've seen only about a dozen or so small ones (which I have similarly treated). Whatever is in this chemical seems to curb the hyperactive growth we saw the previous summer, where trees would spring up several feet seemingly overnight! One star comes off for the lack of any practical dispenser top—this packaging is clearly not intended for homeowners.

Does the job!

This gets the job done works great

This really does work. You can drill several 2-4 inch deep holes in the root and then cover the holes with a plex glass to keep the moisture away(not necessary). The root will rot within a month. If you want to kill a live small tree drill holes and pour this stuff preferably in the fall when the sap goes into the root snd the shrub or the small tree will die in a monitor two. Good stuff.

Works great
