killing a moptop robinia
I cut a moptop robinia off about 6 inches above the ground a couple of
months ago. and of course it's now shooting like crazy, horrible thorny things. Any ideas how I can kill it? Will applying roundup to the shoots do anything? Chris. |

I'm bonsai-ing a robinia atm, and so far have tried killing it at least a dozen different ways but so far no luck Did you poison the stump with anything? |

You should try a Blackberry & Tree Killer like the one he http://www.scottsaustralia.com.au/DE...HTM#def-bberry You can even get syringe type things to inject it right into the trunk (or what's left of the trunk) of the culprit. Hope that helps. Liam. |

Why not drill some holes (on a downward 45deg angle) and fill with neat
Roundup? Would be worth a try and it can't go anywhere but be taken up in the system. Of course, when handling any poisons take necessary and recommend precautions.

It might take years, though I did eventually kill an umbrella tree that way. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "Parenthood is like the modern stone washing process for denim jeans.
