Hi there, Has anyone had experience killing Larch standing to deal with Phytophthora - or know of any research on doing this? What affect does it have on timber? How long will the timber last standing before rot sets in? Does it work First time? Will trees flush again in Spring? What is best product to use? Roundup BioActiv (Agricultural), or Tree&stump killer, or something else? My understanding is 3 cut marks, or drill holes 1.2m above ground & 2ml of Roundup in holes. Do this in October and the poison will be drawn down into root system with the retreating sap. Not a nice topic - but I've got a seriously crowded wood & think this might be a good way to achieve the PHN by spring. Thanks for the advice. -
Hectare of semi mature tpo broadleaf woodland was extensively ecoplugged on Friday evening by persons unknown. FC, planning, police; all aware. Is it worth removing the thousand or so plugs this late in the day? I'm unsure how rapidly the glyphosate disperses.

Hello We had some tree surgeons round to cut down some ash trees and poison the stumps. From the little knowledge I've gained from the internet I was expecting the stump to be cut round the edge and the poison to be concentrated there, then the stumps covered with plastic. However it looks like (was dark when I got home) the trunk has been scored deeply in a criss-cross pattern across the middle with the poison (white granules, looks a bit like salt) pushed into the cuts, and not covered with anything. I'm wondering if I should cover with plastic bags before it rains? Thanks in advance for any advice

We have an abundance of holly growing on a site. Can anyone suggest best chemical control?

I think it's a case of getting the old table salt out again, for poisoning the stumps! Archives of Toxicology, Volume 86, Number 5 - SpringerLink And if you can't be bothered to read it, a quick synopsis: Monsanto's Roundup is toxic to human DNA even when diluted to concentrations 450-fold lower than used in agricultural applications Glyphosate (G) is the largest selling herbicide worldwide; the most common formulations (Roundup, R) contain polyoxyethyleneamine as main surfactant. Recent findings indicate that G exposure may cause DNA damage and cancer in humans.
