Product Information

Picloram is the most persistent of its family of herbicides. [6] It does not adhere to soil, so may leach to groundwater, and has in fact been detected there. It is degraded in soil and water mainly by microbes. Picloram has very little tendency to accumulate in aquatic life. Treat when weeds are actively growing and not stressed by drought or other conditions. Increase the herbicide rate within the labeled rate range as the season progresses and plants become more mature. One disadvantage of the Spectracide that prevented it from making it to the top of the list is that it only works when the stump has aged and the air temperature is in the mid-70s Fahrenheit and above. This limits its usage to either the late spring or summer every year. It also doesn’t work on fresh stumps or stumps that have already sprouted. Pros

When applied properly, the material will not affect the grass or other vegetation around the tree stump. It also doesn’t remain in great quantities after removing the stump. So you won’t have to do intensive soil treatment to make the garden ready to plant again. Picloram is of moderate toxicity to the eyes and only mildly toxic on the skin. [3] No history of human intoxication by picloram has been documented, so symptoms of acute exposure are difficult to characterize.

Tordon can enter the soil from the roots of treated trees, damaging nearby trees, so use it with care.You could use a piece of bark and some glue but I think it would be way easier to find a root that is just an inch or so under the soil and drill into it and fill with Tordon. Spring is not the ideal time to kill standing trees with a herbicide solution. In spring, sap flows upward from the roots. Any herbicide administered through the bark may not reach the roots. This could result in the upper portions of the tree dying while new shoots come up from the roots and base of the trunk. What is the Best Herbicide for Killing a Tree? Make a series of cuts in the bark around the circumference of the tree and apply a strong herbicide, like Roundup or Tordon.

As such, they can pose a serious problem for native competitors, thus sending waves of disruption rippling throughout the ecosystem.
