poisoning roots _

[skyhuck]

How could roots cause problems when they are not actively growing and are beginning to decay? I don't poison roots because I don't want any runoff, especially neat glyphosate. I've only had a eucalyptus grow again, within a month it had put another small clump about an inch high. It was getting ground anyway. But most trees don't come back.

 

They won't, but I bet it impossible to convince the old boy of this fact, its probably easier to poison the stump than wash your breath trying.

 

Most trees do come back, a few species don't or are less likely to.

Err I think you are very wrong on that one tbh.

 

True with beech, I very much doubt it will grow back.

 

Most broadleaf trees do however so I always poison with glyphosate for free, never had anyone complaining in 15+ years that they have either grown back or killed off anything else.

You are right about trying to convince them. I suppose it can still be extra money.

 

With trees coming back I guess it does depend on it's circumstances. They do have slightly less chance with a good grind out though
