Aquatic approved glyphosate?!?! Lol MERCY. The modern institutional mainstream ways never fail to be abso-lutely backwards. Knotweed pickles are *the* best <3 Not to mention critical medicine for those suffering from Lymes.
Hi I need help to get rid of tree of heaven I’m in Greenville Michigan zip 48838 I need to hire someone to get rid of them as I’m 80 and can’t do it myself . Please help they are spreading all over .
I have five of these trees in my yard. They are terrorists. It is non-stop cleaning up after them. First they flower and those make a mess for a month. Then the seeds form. Those fall randomly throughout the year. They never fall all at once. Then, the seedling and sprouts start. Unfortunately all my neighbors are rentals and they do not maintain their yards, so they are growing everywhere and will soon take over our neighborhood.
Killing a tree is wrong. The tree of heaven gives home to creatures. Humans and money…it something produces no immediate money to humans, humans kill it. Despicable
Tryclopyr at 30% or higher is the most effective herbicide that I have found. I never consider these dead until I don't get suckers growing in subsequent years. You have to be in for a long haul to kill groves of Tree of Heaven.
I got one two yards down that must be 6 stories tall. My other, immediate neighbor let one get started from a seed from that tree. She finally let me cut it down and poison the stump in the fall. I let the inevitable suckers grow until they were a foot or so, then cut and poisoned all of them too. It did the job. Early fall is the best time because all the energy is getting sucked back into the roots. I hate using poison for anything, but it is a necessary in this case.
"cluck old hen, cluck and squall, you ain't laid an egg since way last fall..." tree of heaven, also known as stinkweed, can get much taller than thirty feet. if you saw into it on a sweaty day, the sawdust can give you a nasty poison ivy-like rash... which i am now uncomfortably dealing with.
Do you have to mix the herbicide with diesel or other oil? What are the dangers of broadcast spraying for seedlings? I mulch my gardens with leaves & collect hundreds of bags locally; as well as wood chips from my municipality. Year before last I must have gotten loads full of seeds. The seedlings look like grass. I thinned what I could but some are already staying put. I burned what I could to kill any other seeds but know I need to spray to get a handle on the issue. I am willing to kill everything to eliminate the TOH, but can't find literature on how long to abandon the site. Do I tarp or solarize? Mother nature covers herself so...I need a plan. If I don't, other invasives will just take its place. And the vicious cycle continues. Thanks
Please advise me if you discover any way to remove these roots and small saplings.. my neighbor cut down three of them and now I am dealing with a out of control weed making its way towards our house.. I am terrified
Why not just keep them small so the benefits can be tapped but they don't grow out of hand? I am realizing I have them all over my yard, but they haven't grown to maturity because the baby trees have been regularly mowed. I'm going to experiment with a controlled growth - not let them grow huge.
There are a couple variants in this family. The asians seem to have found beneficial uses : medicine from the bark, moths make Ahimsa or Peace silk from leaves, gum from sap, cheap wood products, dead leaves leave fertile soil.
@MrChangeordie they were already established in our city. They are the most horrible trees. You cannot contain them. Constant clean up, constant mess. They will quickly overwhelm you. The shade is nice, but not worth it. Mine are huge now and will cost thousands to eradicate them.
@@LisaKnobel oh... .the more u talk the more I want them! 1🤯 its like a mother telling her son "dont mess with these type of women" and what's the son do? 🤣...but I really wanna give them a try now... I got 9 acres of nothing but weeds, it would be fascinating to have some trees that grow wild 🤣...ur messages have really helped my decision ...what part of the world u live in?
Lived and moved from a house that had just 1 large tree of heaven. It was never ending trying to keep up with hacking down all of the suckers. After any good rain there were dozens, and if left unsnipped they would grow to 3 feet in a month or 2. I hate this tree and all the invasives like it. So many invasive plants are truly scary when first learning and witnessing the shear destruction and cost they inflict. Really sad.
We have two of these trees in my backyard, one is about twelve feet tall, the other just a baby. The big tree will have to go because we are replacing a sewer line and it's right above it. The baby we are going to transplant. I think they are beautiful trees and are incredibly hardy.
Science, Japanese knotweed is the most concentrated source of resveratol we've ever found! East Asians, it's a perennial vegetable and good medicine. Westerners, it's evil the only good knotweed is dead knotweed (mindless shrieking). If only there was some way we could learn from other cultures.
When I was growing up on a farm in Virginia we called those things schumach trees we had a Grove of them in what corner of the field of cows use to lay under them
I have come close to eradicating it on my property by eating it. Stir fried at a high temperature, the strong taste gets cooked away. (Use peanut oil and add some 5-spice.) Finely chopped, small amounts can be stirred into soups and stews without affecting the taste of the dish.
This is an EXECLLENT presentation EXCEPT you missed the most important thing against this awful plant (at least to environmentalists like me!) and that is it feeds no one, no caterpillars, and thus no animals. It further smothers out natives that would contribute to a healthy ecosystem (you did mention this regarding those chemicals that inhibit other growth). Thank you for this great info and thanks RU-vid for keeping this info out there.
Hammer a few copper coins or copper nails into the trunk. It will die ..traditionally we use a circle of pennies around the trunk and sprinkle salt on the roots. It kills sumac trees quickly
I wonder if you can graft onto the tree something else like a branch from a cherry tree since that tree of heaven cant be killed so easy would it think the cherry tree is part of it and provided all nutrients to it
Thank you so much for the video! ❤️🤩As a kid growing up I thought I knew everything there was to know about Stinky Trees except for their proper name: Tree of Heaven. I have memories of my sister and I having to come in and wash up because we would play among these smelly trees The rancid smell remind us of yesteryear. They were our stallions when we played cowboys, our swords and daggers when we were in a fight. (Lol against the neighbor boys) They are great for mud pie making and mud soup recipes. (yes real mud! We are talking kid days here 😊) If your younger brother ever needed a boost of self esteem, you can always tell him use his super strength to pull a young tree out of the ground. 🦸 Usually they come up really easy you can almost pull them out with one hand depending on the size. It feels so satisfying.👍 Our cousins used taller sticks as poles for a teepee. In more practical uses we roasted marshmallows, and they were a source of fire wood. We have had those trees around our house forever... until a drought came and killed some massive trees that were over 30 years old (also just about every other tree on the property...!) The dead trees provided fire wood and kindling that we used for 2 winters. It has been at least 2 years since the drought and doesn't look like the trees will recover. Kinda sad 😔 I had no idea they were such a problem! 😱 But I can see why others would not have such fond memories of them as we do. It is good to FINALLY know what this plant/tree is called!!!
I am always curious when something or someone is vilified. There are apparently many good qualities of the Tree of Heaven, but the benefits would challenge pharmaceutical company profits - and lumber companies. The casual dismissal of any good qualities of this tree are suspect to me. I think it might be good to study the tree further than this video. :) I like your story of the fun you had with your Trees of Heaven. I am thinking this might be what comes up between the cracks between the concrete of the sunroom and the outside patio - I clear the little 'starts' every year. But now I might let one grow into a bush, just to study it. Smelly, hmm??? haha... The best medicines can be rather unpleasant, so they chase away the germs or parasites or whatever it is that is making us ill. :) This is a very good rundown of the benefits of the tree - you will be heartened, I believe, to know them: www.healthbenefitstimes.com/tree-of-heaven/
I'll Never understand why some invasive species are still allowed to be sold anywhere here when it takes over the landscapes and hurts other species in the process. But you will see people selling chinese privet and it's invasive and a problem here Need to ban these species here
I dont understand, but why murder of that one Giant Tall Tree Of Heaven., It's in the jungle minding it own business..."Here Comes" Evil KILLING HUMAN....Why?????
@@noreaster4194 Yes , of course, trees possess the same kind of energy we humans possess I guess because They are our lungs we breathe in their oxygen and they take in our carbons A tree will emit a fear purple cloud energy when they are threathened to be chopped a I guess to warn the neighboring trees!
