What should I put on my Tree after cutting it down?

Following the package instructions, paint a brush-killer herbicide that contains glyphosate or triclopyr on the freshly cut trunk. Adding a few holes drilled into the cambium with a drill to make “reservoirs” gives the herbicide more time to be absorbed by the root system.

Can a pre emergence control cause plant damage?

Pre-emergence controls are not as dangerous and herbicides that are applied systemically rarely result in problems unless they are over-applied. The exceptions are herbicides that have amine salt, which allows the chemical to liquefy and travel more easily through soil.

What should I do if my neighbour says my Tree is dangerous?

If they want you to cut your tree or hedge just because they don’t like the way it looks, it’s up to you whether you do the work. You should check if the tree or hedge is dangerous before you decide. If your neighbour says your tree is dangerous, you could ask a tree surgeon for advice.

What kind of trees are affected by Imprelis?

One year ago this week (June 18-24, 2012), we began to receive initial reports of conifers, particularly Norway spruce and white pine, showing extensive needle browning and distorted new growth. The problem was eventually linked to a new turf herbicide called Imprelis that had recently been released by DuPont.

What kind of weed killer does Imprelis use?

The problem was eventually linked to a new turf herbicide called Imprelis that had recently been released by DuPont. Imprelis (active ingredient aminocyclopyrachlor) was marketed as an environmental-friendly product that was effective on difficult turf weeds.

When did EPA stop sale of Imprelis tree?

As reports of damage continued to mount and the story became national news, the US EPA issued a Stop Sale order for Imprelis on August 11, 2011, barely two months after the initial reports of damage became public.

What was the total cost of the Imprelis disaster?

DuPont reports that damage associated with Imprelis has cost the company $225 million and the total cost may eventually reach $575 million. As we approach the one-year anniversary of the Imprelis disaster, however, it appears more subtle and longer-term tree damage is becoming apparent – even to trees that showed little impact in 2011.
