It's winter, you don't use it all the time. But you still need to have it. Doesn't it have to be actually growing - like not in winter - for a herbicide to be effective? Stump treatments can be used as long as the ground is not frozen. I had a thirty year old mimosa tree removed a few months ago. Very pretty tree but it poops something all over the yard in every season. Pink fluff, seed pods, leaves and twigs. If I did nothing around the yard for a few years I'd have a forest of mimosa trees and palm trees. (My palm in a prolific seeder) So I'll be out there with you painting on the herbicide. Jo |

Jo I think mimosas are pretty too, but not worth the tree poop. You should have a grove of the Tree of Heaven. They are *awful*. Nice, pretty shade tree, but they poop trillions of tiny seeds in June. Get all over the place, and they stink. I think every new seed that falls makes a new tree. We pull up trees constantly. I asked the extension office what I can do about the new trees that pop up everywhere, and they said, either pull them up by hand or get a goat. Our project now is getting rid of the dewberry (blackberry) bushes out in the pasture. They are totally taking over. That's going to be a job. Sherry |
