Spraying trees mid winter?

[toledo]

Planning to doze some big honey locusts this summer. Thinking of basal spray them now with triclopyr and giving the roots a chance to rot some.

Think itll work when they're dormant?

I think it will work well anytime except spring being lowest kill rate

I’ve got a ton of gum and privet I need to get time to treat

Drill several holes in the trunk angling downward---fill the holes with the triclopyr. That should take care of it.

Yes this will work. I use diesel and remedy for basal bark on honey locust

Will this work in mesquite right now?

Or rock salt.

The best time is late summer into the early fall, but it will work now.
You could also hack n squirt anytime from now until spring green up.

Good deal. I’ve only ever sprayed in the summer but didn’t have time this year. I’ll give it a shot now and see how it goes. Thanks.
