Beth, ENTS, For those who do not want to use pesticides, acetic acid - the active ingredient in vinegar - may also be applied to the fresh cut stumps. This may not be as effective as many herbicides, but is not a general toxin and will work fairly well.

Even with this treatment, you will likely need to keep an eye on the root stock for 1-2 years and re-apply herbicide as needed. -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected]
