November 23, 20178 yr Need to kill ugly trees next to my parameter fence Can anyone recommend non stinky permanent solution
November 24, 20178 yr Not a good idea to use glyphosate (RoundUp) if you can avoid it as it is very toxic. It also seems a shame to kill any tree at all, but anyway. Salt at the base will do it ecologically, but it will also kill anything else with roots in the same area so be careful. It does all rather depend on what you want to put in its place, and when.
November 24, 20178 yr You need to cut them down first,as if you poison them,they will look even more ugly,dead and leafless,and will attract Termites, so chop them down,pour poison around them and place a bucket over the stump,so it gets no light and will definitely not start to grow again. regards worgeordie
November 24, 20178 yr Some effective solutions above. One assumes they are your trees of course. "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"
November 24, 20178 yr Cut down tree as low to the ground as possible if it's yours drill a hole to take a small length of 1/2" copper pipe. Seems to work for me.

Glyphosat is NOT "Very toxic".

Cut down to a stump. crisscross the surface with saw grooves and holes, apply Glyphosat liberally, repeat if it shows signs of growing again.

I dunno about farming, weed killers and stuff all I know is that the tree hasn't sprouted yet, we have had so rain this year maybe it drown. Edited November 24, 20178 yr by Kwasaki
