The stump of ash, cottonwood, elm, oaks, persimmon, willow, and Russian olive can be treated with a 1:1 ratio of dicamba (Clarity, Sterling Blue) in water instead of triclopyr if desired. Treat any exposed trunk or exposed roots.Spray the cambium and light-colored sapwood to insure translocation of the herbicide (Figure 1).Treat the cut surface with triclopyr and diesel fuel within 30-60 minutes, before the sap seals over the exposed area.If the woody plant is greater than 6 inches in diameter, the best method is to: Before selecting a basal oil, do a jar test by mixing Milestone and basal oil to determine compatibility. Mix Milestone 5% v/v with a compatible basal oil e.g. Milestone, with the active ingredient aminopyralid, is effective on black and common honeylocust. Crossbow, a mixture of triclopyr and 2,4-D, can also provide control of certain woody plants as a 4% solution in diesel. PastureGard HL is a premix of triclopyr and fluroxypyr, and can be applied as a basal bark or cut-stump treatment as a 25% solution in diesel. Pathfinder II is a ready-to-use product and does not have to be mixed with diesel. The labeled recommendations for Remedy Ultra are 20-30% solution in diesel. Triclopyr goes by the tradenames Remedy Ultra and Pathfinder II. The lower 12-15 inches of the stems or trunks of susceptible small trees should be thoroughly wetted on all sides with a triclopyr-diesel mixture. Producers can treat smaller diameter susceptible woody plants individually this fall by spraying the basal stem parts with triclopyr plus diesel fuel. Avoid conditions where water (or snow later in the season) prevents spraying to the ground line. ![]() The basal bark and cut stump treatments will not be effective if the plants cannot be treated down to the soil line. Scattered stands of individual trees should either be treated individually using the basal bark method (for labeled plants less than 4-6 inches in diameter) or the cut stump treatment method. ![]() Late summer and fall can be an excellent time to treat unwanted stands of woody plants.
