To kill a pine tree...
"kalstras" wrote in message ... ESGie Wrote: GLYPHOSATE! (SP?) Commonly sold under the trade name "Roundup". This is applied to the green growth and makes its way down to the roots where it stops them producing food or the plant. If it comes in contact with the soil it is neutralised, so it doesn't poison anything but the plant it's applied to. It's more commonly used to control things like nettles, but I have used it to kill off unwanted bamboo plants (I'll have the Bamboo Forum flaming me now!) by painting the leaves a few times with the stuff. If you paint the green parts of the offending tree several times,this should do the trick for you. (I'd recommend doing this at night, otherwise standing at the top of a ladder painting the leaves might JUST arouse some suspicion!) Good Luck! (and don't tell them I told you!!) Sorry m8 but the tree is 70-80ft tall and the "Green bits" are 30-50ft up the tree. Roundup is a lovely idea, but probably not going to kill the behemoth of a tree... holes drilled in the base as far in as the drill bit will go and neat round up poured in. Don't do this for trees on public property or be one of those arsehole types who kill trees round lakes/the ocean to protect their 'views'. People like that needed to be forced to drink round up. Only apply to trees you own and want rid of. rob |
