Your progress on controlling invasive species doesn't have to stop in the winter. By using cut-stump treatments in the winter several benefits are immediately apparent. For one, the comforts of winter weather, and second, the absence of leaves. However, anytime you use herbicides you need to know the specifics of the application, and not just the mix, but timing and where to apply.
Long Forestry Consultation LLC has developed several documents for landowners to download for free, and they are located on our website. This one, Cut Stump - Water vs Oil, will answer many of your cut-stump questions and will guide you in your application.
If you have any further questions, please call us: 618 893 2307
Happy New Year!
