Treatment Methods
Cut - Stump Treatment
Plants should be removed and stumps painted within 1 minute if using Garlon 3a, Roundup Pro, or Rodeo. Two other forms of triclopyr; Garlon 4 and Pathfinder II, can be applied to the stump up to 24 hours after cutting.
Basal Bark Treatment
An application of triclopyr should be applied to the bark 6-12 inches from the ground in a band completely around the tree. Two forms of triclopyr are extremely effective (Garlon 4 and Pathfinder II). Garlon 4 should be mixed with a penetrating oil, necessary. Control may take several weeks. Because of their dried wood, standing dead exotics are much more difficult to mulch than are living trees.
