How do I control an invading perennial without killing the tree??
Comments (6)There is this thing called a lawnmower. You probably already have one. It's job is to cut things down close to the ground. Since it is so effective at killing plants that can't handle continous cutting, it doesn't really seem to be recognized as one of the best machines ever invented for controlling unwanted plants. It will get rid of the loosestrife. It will also significantly control the mint, though it is much better at growing under the cutting blades. Any plant that either cannot handle continuous cutting, or cannot grow close to the ground can easily be controlled with the mower. This covers almost all of the truly bad plants. Compared to poison ivy, rosa multiflora, bush honeysuckle and phragmites, dandelions are not a concern....See MoreNot exactly a tree question...but how do you kill bamboo?
Comments (4)I would cut it down, and keep mowing the area and replant with desired species. Many times chemicals wont kill the rhizomes, and you just douse your yard in them. 1/5 of an acre is a lot of herbiscide. It is just as effective to remove the shoots you see come up with a mower, which ends up eliminating the startch in the rhizome, therfore killing it. You may think about selling the culms and or making divisions for cash. If its aruea, lots of people love that bamboo! You can crags list " free bambo odiisions, come take your fill" and people may be able to do some of the work!...See MoreHow do you slowly kill a Palo Verde tree?
Comments (46)I had a large palo verde tree removed a couple of years ago. Not sorry either, every spring there were dozens of seedlings to pull up, not to mention getting stuck. I planted a beautiful Emperor Green palo verde tree in it's place. This tree is perfect, no seedlings or thorns, incredible blooms, wish I had planted some of them years ago, since I'm relocating soon. Oh well.....See MoreLarge Fig Tree Wanted - Will Help With Tree Removal - Do Not Kill
Comments (2)figfarmer, yeah, I know that. But I was aiming for the search engines to spider this, and when anyone types "killing a fig tree", it might come up with this. And if I'm lucky, that person happens to be in the local bay area. = ) Oh, well, just looking for blind luck, because I really want a large tree....See Morefranktank232
