Cut-stump applications of Milestone as a 10% solution in water has been effective on common honeylocust. Then the main plant can be cut down in subsequent years once the tree is dead. One option is to make a basal bark treatment with triclopyr-containing products to kill the entire plant in the fall. No endorsement is intended, nor is any criticism implied of similar products not mentioned.Ĭommon honeylocust can resprout from a wide diameter area around the main plant because of root suckers. In sprouting species, new shoots arise from dormant buds at or below the ground often resulting in a multi-stemmed clump.ġ Trade names are used to help identify herbicides. Common trees in Kansas that resprout after cutting include ash, cottonwood, elm, oaks, osage orange (hedge), persimmon, black and common honey locust, saltcedar, and Russian olive. Simply cutting Eastern red cedar below the lowest green branch will kill it. The stumps of Eastern red cedar do not need to be treated since, unlike many woody brush plants, this species does not root sprout. The stump of ash, cottonwood, elm, oaks, persimmon, and Russian olive can be treated with a 1:1 ratio of dicamba (Banvel, Clarity) in water instead of triclopyr if desired. Treat any exposed trunk or exposed roots. Spray the cambium and light-colored sapwood to insure translocation of the herbicide. If the woody plant is greater than 6 inches in diameter, the best method is to cut it off at ground level and treat the cut surface with triclopyr and diesel fuel within 30-60 minutes, before the sap seals over the exposed area. Mix Milestone 5% v/v with a compatible basal oil. Milestone, with the active ingredient aminopyralid, is effective on black and common honeylocust. Crossbow, a mixture of triclopyr and 2,4-D, can also provide control of certain woody plants as a 4% solution in diesel. PastureGard HL is a premix of triclopyr and fluroxypyr, and can be applied as a basal bark or cut-stump treatment as a 25% solution in diesel. Pathfinder II is a ready-to-use product and does not have to be mixed with diesel. The labeled recommendations for Remedy Ultra are 20-30% solution in diesel. Triclopyr goes by the tradenames Remedy Ultra and Pathfinder II.

The lower 12-15 inches of the stems or trunks of susceptible small trees should be thoroughly wetted on all sides with a triclopyr-diesel mixture.

Producers can treat smaller diameter susceptible woody plants individually this fall by spraying the basal stem parts with triclopyr plus diesel fuel. Avoid conditions where water (or snow later in the season) prevents spraying to the ground line. The basal bark and cut stump treatments will not be effective if the plants cannot be treated down to the soil line. Scattered stands of individual trees should either be treated individually using the basal bark method (for labeled plants less than 4-6 inches in diameter) or the cut stump treatment method. Late summer and fall can be an excellent time to treat unwanted stands of woody plants.
