Alder

[Derek Trimblits]

Evening all!

just been asked to price for felling approx 50 Alder trees then treat the stumps to prevent any regen. Also on site are Alder stumps cut back last year (and allegedly treated!) that have grown about 5 feet in a year.

2 questions :

Should I treat the newly felled stumps with glyphosate straight away, or treat with something else,

The other stumps with a years growth -cut back to base and do as above or leave to come into leaf then spray?

Any comments would be grand cheers!

You will have real trouble getting Alder to stop regrowing!! Even if you treat the stump it will just re-sprout from another part of the stump. Best bet would be to stump grind them out!

360 bosh, If the client wants no regen.

That will be a thanklass task stump grinding 50 stumps. Particularly as the ground is likely to be soft/ muddy.

We use Glyphosate 360 neat for most stump treatments. We use 480 for species that regen extremely well. No matter what you put on them.

straight away within an hour of cutting them, and bore into the stump with the bar and do some crosses on top

foliar spray would be best

 

quick question are these on a river bank? if so you will need to notify the EA really for consent

If you wont to give the client a honest job Fell and stump grind them out If not your lieing to the client

I always treat stumps within 20mins of final cut. we used to use use amiside but you cant use that anymore i believe.

Cheers for all the replies guys.

No its on a railway embankment.

Plus the site is very heavily accessed by the public, anything from dog walkers to drunks, as it's a main thoroughfare. The L.A will not close the path either.
