gonna try that have a lot of Autumn Olive

Remedy and diesel

I don't normally haul them to a burn pile Craig. Too easy to spread the seeds, making the invasion potentially worse. Now I just let them rot where I cut them.

Used the cut-back method and sprayed earlier in the week- we'll see what happens. Trying to educate the neighbors but I'm not sure they're as motivated.

I've been told by many professionals that this is a bad time of year to treat honeysuckle, since all the energy in the tree is flowing upward, until it fully leafs out.

I may start treating honeysuckle soon, but wild parsnip is next on my 'to do' list, as the experts around here say to spray that poisonis parsnip between ~June 15 and 30.

24D won't harm grass, but kills broadleaf and brush, spray it during full leaf so it absorbs enough to kill the roots.

When I do a brush job, I add a bottle or 2 of dollar store food coloring in the tank so I can see which stumps I've hit already.

That's a good idea. It's real easy to miss a stump or more, when you've cut a lot of brush.

X2, yet another great idea I would have missed out on if it weren't for Tman.

I use Pathway for stump treatment on hedge, American elm, and honey locust. I’ve never had surrounding tree mortality. Just a little on the cambium layer and I’ve never had a stump sprout back out of thousands of trees.

Now that I got the wild parsnip sprayed, I probably should get after the honeysuckle.

what are you using for the wild parsnip ? seems to be all over on the roadsides this year bad.

I cut it off 10'' above the soil and treated the stumps- works great from February to April. If you do it in the afternoon it works best.
i sprayed the bark with cross bow and garlan mixed with a surfactant with ok results.
I have also used 20% Glyphosate but it wont work at all past he growing stage.
Right now the best way is cut and treat with Tordon.

Roundup for the wild parsnip, definitely. I happen to use the brush grade (yellow cap) Roundup. It's probably too late now though. The key is to hit it starting 6/15 until maybe around 6/30, before it goes to seed. 1 treatment kills it. Yes, it's terrible stuff, and it's taking over in many parts of the state.

I stopped using Tordon for honeysuckle. It seems to have too great of a potential to kill neighboring desirable trees. I haven't decided what to use for honeysuckle this year, but I do cut stump treatment as well, though I cut lower than 10".

The honeysuckle is getting a good start in eastern Kansas. I didn't know what the stuff was until I read about it here a while back. I knew I had a problem with something I had never seen before and now know it is honeysuckle. On a hunch, I tried a 2 gallon sprayer with Grazon at the time it was blooming on a bunch of the bushes that were up to 8 feet tall. It killed all the bushes I tried it on and I sprayed 2- 15 gallon sprayers full this past week to hopefully get a lot of what I have on creek banks. I mix a quart of Grazon in 15 gallons of water and hit as many of the leaves as I can.

Yes, it's very annoying stuff nt2. Most people aren't able to identify it until it's out of control.

I find buckthorn to be spread faster than honeysuckle.

I pulled a bunch of honeysuckle today. It pulls easier than I realized. Darn sprawling nuisance...
