Default Camphor Laurel

We did have it stump-ground .. so i'm hoping the damn thing is done !!


Do not hold your breath. Old neighbour had camphor laurel on foot path
stump ground and new neighbour has just enjoyed (?) the spectacle of
seeing what the Integral Energy tree butchers can do to it for the first
time.

I think it lay quiet for about 18 months, then bingo, as back as good as
ever.

Snip (sunny afternoon) and paint with roundup any shoots that pop up. It
may take a while as you really need it to draw poison back into every
section. Camphor laurel is like willow, poke a piece into theground and
it will sprout.
