Anyone planning on tackling that sprawling nuisance this year? I am. I'm trying to decide on a chemical to use for the cut stump treatment of it, and that annoying native prickly ash.

I'm in the middle of a TSI cutting and cut all honeysuckle and several other trees that need killin. Tordon is what I use. It works great but don't get carried away real close to your good trees.

I ruled out Tordon becsuse it appeared to be killing nearby trees when I was using several years ago.

for cut stump on honeysuckle use 20% glyphosate. Honeysuckle is very susceptible to Glyphosate. I'd try the same for the prickly ash. I used that mix on some prickly ash last fall, too early to tell if it worked.

I had the same issue here, lost some sawtooth oak I planted and it is real tough on tulip that doesn't seem that close. I started spraying it with crossbow. After I cut it and it starts growing again or after I burn off a section of warm season grass I spray what comes back.

So just buy a bottle of this product and apply it to the cut stump and root collar of honey suckle (and maybe prickly ash), using the product straight up (1 application) with no water mixed in? https://www.roundup.com/en-us/products/large-area/roundup-weed-grass-killer-concentrate-plus

If it's a 10 foot bush it will kill it without hurting the warm season grass around it.

Cut them off as short as you can, then a can with a 50/50 mix of glyphosate, (Round-up) and diesel fuel, with a stick and a sponge on the end for a dauber, will kill them for sure.
If you don't want the chemicals in your ground, cut them off about 2' high to leave a handle, and cut the roots around the base with a Mattock to remove the stump. A little more work but works really well, and is cheaper.

cut about 6 inches above grade and treat the fresh cuts with herbicide.
we did about a bunch with the pull method and far to much came back.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I would use 2 goats or more if you need them. There's a business nearby me called brush busters. Brush busters is a goat farmer that takes his goats to brushy areas and grazes the invasive species back under control.
wanna be goat farmer.

There's some goat businesses in the Wis area but none by me. I could get my own goat, but probably won't.

Buy a “Buckthorn blaster” to apply any herbicide to a cut stump. It’s basically a bingo dauber and allows you to control how much product is actually used without accidentally spilling. Pretty cheap and easy to use.

Its over priced. That particular one is only 19% Glyphosate. I go to Fleet Farm and buy Gordons brand. I thinks it called "brush Killer" Look on the label, active ingredients, Glyphosate. Its 41% glyphosate, its alot cheaper and more effective than round-up. I mix it half with water. Cause its 41% when mixed half and half that gives you 20% active ingredient. Then yes, cut the honeysuckle and treat the cut stump just around the outside to get the area where the bark meets the wood of the plant. Treat as soon as possible after cutting. I cut one treat move on to the next one and so on.
