Great talk, and thanks for sharing to YT! We're in SC. What's your view on sawtooth oak? is that helpful or invasive? We prioritize native white or red, but the hunters in the family want acorns now. Oh, and when to cut and paint things like non-native wisteria or autumn olive? I've heard fall is best.

Is it okay to hack and squirt in June with triclopyr? Targeting privet, Bradford pear and sweet gum. Looks like you had awesome results! Just curious is June is too early with sap flow potentially still going.

I was able to successfully remove bittersweet from all my trees in the backyard. The mouse-eared I dandelions or whatever they're called are pretty dampersistent. And the garlic mustard. I try to make a significant dent on one or annoying invasive species each year. I know shade works on killing the mouse eared hawkweed. But you got to be ready to replace it with something really. You'll just have dirt

Reed Canary grass is a very aggressive, non-native grass. It out competes native plants like Prairie Cordgrass. It tends to form low-diversity monocultures.

great video. How long does it take after the hack & squirt to kill the plant and does it kill the roots as well? I have a Chinese privet thicket I want to get rid of on my property. I have a forestry mulcher guy coming later this week but thinking that may just result in tons of sprouts from the roots next spring. If I hack and squirt will it kill the roots if we forestry mulch it a week later?

What she DIDN'T tell us is what chemical/herbacide she is using and at what strength. Also, is there a purpose to doing all that sawing, or is a good pair of loppers going to be just as good. Poorly done.
@arminweise3768 6 ай бұрын
I believe she used 25-50% (of a 41% product) triclopyr mix. Yes, loppers will work great. The sawing works the best for larger stems.

I'm very disappointed that you never mention how this vine spreads massive amounts of shouts all over your yard. Just cutting the ones wrapping around your trees isn't enough. I've been attempting to kill oriental bittersweet in my yard for several years now. For every vine that wraps around a tree or bush, there's a million more little shouts that spring up all over the yard. You never mention anything about ripping the roots up or attempts at killing the root system.

Yes, when I moved here, the vines across the entire back yard looked like a bowl of spaghetti, all wrapped up together. I have spent much of my Summer digging, cutting and removing. They come from an unattended lot next door. These vines already brought down a couple large trees.

Is there a general rule to follow for application when rain is in the forecast to retain effectiveness of the herbicide?
@arminweise3768 2 жыл бұрын
What I have always followed (and what has worked for me) is that as long as it has penetrated into the wood before it rains it should not loose effectiveness. With foliar spray it has to dry, so depending on the weather, 15min to 1hr.

If it was pasture at one point I’d expect to find remnants of the first cohort of pioneering trees, like eastern red cedars, white pines or common juniper. There should even be grass left over in spots. Harvested for timber makes more sense but if you’re not finding stump remnants or rotten slash piles then I’m as lost as you are on this mystery 🤔

This evil plant has destroyed the woods behind the house we bought a few months ago. Spent the whole week cutting these off the trees. They’ve killed a good 30 percent of the big trees on our 2 acres. Previous owners must not have given a crap.

Been battling this stuff all this year once I started. The people that lived at this house had neglected the back yard the whole time they lived here. There’s all kinds of vines that are going up a big tree in numerous spots. I’ve been clearing out as much as I can. A few of the vines I cut at the base were around 2 and a half inches or maybe even 3 in diameter. I definitely need to make a trip to the store and get some type of stuff to put on it once you cut it, and make some cuts farther down closer to the ground to kill the roots. But the vines in the tree have been dying, I’ve tried pulling them down but they’re just so in there I guess I’m going to have to try and wait for them to fall out
@TheHolyMongolEmpire 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah they’re impossible to get out of the trees. Takes years for them to fully fall off the tree after dying. But it’s better that they’re dead so they don’t kill everything.

@@TheHolyMongolEmpire I went through later and cut them closer to the ground and put some herbicide on them, the vines going up the tree are definitely dying. And hopefully the tree starts to feel some relief soon. It’s just such a big tree, that if the vines killed it, and it fell towards the house, it would do a lot of damage. It’s a big and mighty tree

@@dudders___1684 we just bought our first house last October. There’s about an acre in the back that the previous owner didn’t take care of at all for probably a decade. Every single tree was covered in grape vine and bittersweet to the point that the vines killed about 30 percent of the older trees and were smothering everything else. I cut it all this spring and spent about a week doing so. Will wait til July to see if new growth starts in order to add herbicide. But yes, some of the big trees the shit was growing on could def kill the trees and then destroy our house.

How do you all treat the many immature vines that still sprout the next year from the original plant?
@arminweise3768 2 жыл бұрын
Normally, the herbicide application should kill the stem down to the roots. Occasionally, one of those stems still re-sprouts even though it has been treated with herbicide but in that case it is often less vigorous. Depending on the situation I would either follow-up with a spot application of herbicide on the re-spouting leaves or wait a few years and do a follow-up cut-stem application with herbicide.

For a privet bush with multiple leaders can you hack just a few to kill the bush or do you need to hack every leader.
@arminweise3768 3 жыл бұрын
In my experience its always best to get the main stem but I have seen privet bushes die after only doing hack&squirt on some of the leaders but with mixed results. I would suggest just to try it and see what happens. I'm sure it greatly depends on the herbicide, its mixture, and maybe even the vascular structures within the wood that transport the herbicide (eg. The herbicide may only kill the portion of the root system that is directly connected to that branch causing the rest of the root system and branches to survive.)
