nuke'em ttg Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 sealing cut limbs isn't done anymore....seems it causes more damage than good increasing rot, bug infestation ,etc ...Just cut the limb and let nature do the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I hope my neighbor does not read this but I wish I knew of a way to kill a tree. They are letting a locust tree grow that is already hanging over my pool and back porch. There is no talking to these goofballs either.

Dr. Love Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I hope my neighbor does not read this but I wish I knew of a way to kill a tree. They are letting a locust tree grow that is already hanging over my pool and back porch. There is no talking to these goofballs either. Well, my friend once had a similar problem with a tree in his outlawn that was in the way of a bigger driveway approach that he wanted. My friend then dug a bit below the surface soil right by the base of the tree, got the widest and longest spade bit he could find, and drilled a deep and wide hole in the tree just below the dirt line. He then filled the hole in the tree with a solution of copper sulfate a couple of times over the next few days. Beware, though! This works quickly. If you do it right now, you'll have autumn in July. Those leaves will fall right off. Also beware not to spill copper sulfate on the grass or let it overflow out of the hole in the tree. That stuff will kill the heck out of the grass and arouse suspicion. Give it a whirl. It worked like a champ for me.. um... I mean him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't tried it personally, but that's what I've heard anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
