Black Locust Problem
I have been reading the thread about the Pine tree.
I have a similiar problem. The difference is that it is a Black Locust tree on unmaintained City property adjacent to my property. The tree is very efficient in producing offspring which are trying to invade my yard. The city refuses to do ANY maintenance on this adjoining property. I am thinking of killing the tree. What is the best way? Could I drill a hole near the base and use salt or a herbicide? Any other recommendations? BTW. I have planted trees on the city property and I would plant another kind of tree to take the place of the locust tree that might die of mysterious causes. I am using bio-terrorism on another section of unmaintained city property adjacent to mine that has some real eyesores that the city refuses to remove. I planted the most invasive bamboo I could find. |

Black Locust Problem
how big are these trees? it's not the trees that are the problem right?
maybe see if they will let you spray the tree(s). trees are good. locusts would be interesting but not if they are detroying my yard. there is some form of locust spray you could use I'm sure.

A couple of them are about 8 inches in diameter and about 40 feet tall. Others are not as tall but the problem with the shorter ones is the thorns on the branches and their prolific growth. I don't think I can adequately control new trees without getting rid of the older trees. trees are good. locusts would be interesting but not if they are detroying my yard. there is some form of locust spray you could use I'm sure.
