How To Kill a Tree | Hack and Squirt 

You're not kidding. Mulberry trees are the devil incarnate.

@@SeanKecskes Mulberry trees at least give you mulberries to eat. I have a 5 ft diam Hawthorn tree I need to kill. Nothing but massive thorns.

. @@SeanKecskes Mulberry trees are what brought me to this video. I can see mother nature's genius in them but, at the same time, not in my back yard.

I normally wouldn't care but they're under the power lines in mine

you are true, very true

That method doesn't work on mulberry, box elder, etc.

Is that discreet ?

I think my electric company’s trimmers use Tordon in their bar oil.

Doesn't actually kill the root system. I.e. it can grow back

Hmmmm.. killing a tree is not my cup of tea.. hmmmm.. are you sure..?? !!

Killthemall

These people have no clue what that is and wanna cut the small trees under the big trees not realizing the big tree is meant to die so the small one can take over

So they would rather poison their land they live and eat on

What's the spray?

haha what you mean nature strip

terrible....

Paul, let me comment a little more about the strategy being applied to killing trees in this video. This video clearly states the goal is to promote mast production trees that will generate food for wildlife, particularly for deer and turkeys, perhaps even squirrels. But equally important is to kill off trees certain trees that do not have the potential to become a marketable and profitable tree for timber harvesting. If you will look carefully, and listen closely, the very first small hickory tree that is hacked and squirted is a hickory that has branched about 5 feet off the ground into two trunks. In the video it is stated "This tree will never make a log" which is true. So it has no real timber harvest value and therefore needs to be removed. Essentially, the best trees which are the most likely to grow tall, straight marketable timber are given preference and all other twisted, distorted, curved, or multiple branching trees are sacrificed. No exceptions were shown in this video, but most tree removal programs would make exceptions for especially beneficial trees for wildlife, such as a wild persimmon tree, a crabapple tree, a wild cherry tree, or some other fruit bearing tree that happened to be in the forest. Some of those kinds of trees just don't produce a lot of marketable timber but their wildlife food value is huge. I fully agree that hickory, chestnuts, and other nut trees should be left in a forest where wildlife benefits were the major concern. But clearly here, the focus is also heavily weighted toward timber production. If the time horizon is long enough, it makes great sense to leave a hickory tree, for instance, in the forest to grow. But most timber growers want to generate a profitable harvest within a prescribed time period, usually 30 years or so, and thus they favor faster growing timber. FYI, the average life span of a shagbark hickory is 200 years with some growing to be 300 years old. On my land which is purely managed for wildlife first and only secondarily managed for timber production, I do leave all hickory trees. I also leave Osage Orange trees and certain other species which add variety to the forest. Nature thrives best in mixed environments where there is "something for everyone" so to speak. My forest is a streamside management zone which hasn't been cut in almost 50 years. It has a wide variety of both hardwood and evergreen species native to Mississippi growing in it. And it is extremely attractive to all forms of wildlife. I even leave dead snags and blown down timber as those element create great homes for many wildlife species. But I also do have to create thinned areas where the sunlight can get to the ground so that native vegetation can grow. This approach, along with small clearings planted with food plots really allows wildlife to flourish. The real point of this video is that human intervention which utilizes timber stand management practices in a wise manner will produce much better results than simply allowing whatever springs up in the forest to grow rampant and out of control.

This is also a wonderful way to take out an invasive species of trees.

Trees are evil and malicious (in fact, they are all racist). They are responsible for a wave of lethal criminal harms and should be justly sentenced to death.

Absolutely! And well said too.

He literally explained this in the video and they still didn't get it, there's no convincing these people, they're like flat earthers.

@@otallono Trees are evil and malicious. Kill them ALL! No mercy!

Hey I'm going to try your method and thanks for sharing. Would Home Depot carry the 14 % stuff you mention? Not sure exactly what that is but sounds like it worked. Thanks.

Richard Parker , I used a non-selective herbicide containing 41% glyphosate from Ace hardware. The label tells you how many ounces per gallon to make different strengths, and I mixed the 14% mixture in a gallon of water. I may try another gallon mixed at 20% strength in the coming weeks. Look for any product with 41% glyphosate and mix about 14 to 20oz per gallon and you're ready to go. Cheers!

@@jeffreycollier1805 glad i scrolled to some nonsense comment and found your. appreciate the info boss. thank you

@@bitcoinlife9227 thanks, I have been using 20% mixture for a few years now with great success in controlling and or killing hard to kill growth like wild privet and wisteria etc. The 14% mixture did kill a privet bush that was growing for decades and 20' tall after a few applications and whacks.

I think I'm going to use the straight solution, without deluding it any… I want to make sure that tree is good and dead!

Can I ask what you use?

Just strait round up, this was doing land care projects. They said it like translocated poison not residual. Just the glyphosate basically.

@@Sticky1 Ok then, thanks.

it works crazy well. look up the pdf of arsenol AC. That shit OBLITERATES vegetation. It kills it...to death.

​@karamlazieh4298 That's what I was wondering myself

@@karamlazieh4298 Arsenal herbicide is what he said he used. It is good stuff, not sure what it cost these days but, ask at agricultural supply houses, someone near you sells it.

To an old man like this he knows he will die sooner or later he don’t care he was taught that oaks are the best and should be the only ones around and he’s tryna pass his beliefs into random people happens in every aspect of life.

That particular hickory he was gesturing that it wasn’t a good quality hickory based on the co dominant top and poor structure.

My neighbors too...😂

People are so inconsiderate. They asked for it.

@@badmofo Ask him to remove it if its on the property line. If any of the tree falls over the property line its fair game. including the roots. if the roots are on your property they belong to you, do as you see fit, but do not walk over the property line and spray his tree, you could find yourself getting sued for damages. The fact he's blocking a view to a lake Might be a violation its self. 2 ways you can handle this, buy his property from the bank making you the lender, and foreclose on him. Or go talk to the guy in a cavil manor ask if your doing somthing to upset him and can you fix that? You might find out the guys not a real big jackass he didn't know it block your view. That dosn't work like I said the roots under your property are your's do as you like with them. Just be careful with herbisides on lake property you could damage the lake. in fact you shold be caarefull with any thing you put on you lawn. run off into the lake can cause all kinds of problems.

Same here. Lol

Funny

Roundup maybe

Just paint it as a marker since you are killing it anyway

best time to do this is in the Fall/Winter when the tree loses its leaves and you make the cut on the tree 1 or 2 inch from the ground and you make cuts all around the tree for example the tree at 1.09 you do 8 cuts

@@JohnDoe-dh4fi False. Trees are dormant in winter. The best time is when leaves are green.

I can’t grow grass out a garden in the front or back yard because of shade. For years I’ve cut down and pulled out over 50 trees and seedlings a year and still my yard is too shaded. Trees love our NC clay soil.

It will probably poison your plants. Just use tools.

Yes. Ground pollution is a consideration for gardening and you're putting arsenic into the ground with this method. Also, it takes forever to work. Like an entire season.

Drilled holes in the base of the tree and any exposed roots. Poured glyphosate into holes twice and killed the gum trees. So far so good.

@@1speedracer3_51 Spouting garbage on youtube is not a good use of your time, Watch the videos and keep out of the comments. This is a product called ARSENAL. It DOES NOT CONTAIN ARSENIC which is an Atomic element #33 on the periodic table of elements. The active ingredient is Isopropylamine salt of Imazapyr. It contains no heavy metals and is an ORGANIC compound and is used in plastics, pesticides, rubber chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and petroleum products. Chronic toxicity tests for imazapyr indicate that it is not carcinogenic, mutagenic, or neurotoxic. It also does not cause reproductive or developmental toxicity, and is not a suspected endocrine disrupter. Imazapyr degradates are no more toxic than imazapyr itself, and are excreted faster than imazapyr when ingested. It does dry your skin and can make your eyes burn if you get it on you.

@@CrakenFlux you are insane.

Don’t need to buy anything, use fire to kill any tree. Rake dead, dry leaves into the base of tree. Light fire. Do this three more times. Now tree dead. The fire will definitely kill the roots, and soon enough tree will fall. Now you have enough wood to keep you warm in winter. Thank me later.

I am wondering the same for poison Oak...

Salt stays in the soil and nothing will grow.

He said Arsenal (imazapyr) @ 20% but you should check the manufacturer’s recommended dosing for a given species/method

Your method is way more tedious and a lot more obvious, but does works with roundup. The guy in the video is not, he's using a much more potent toxin than round-up. Mystery solved.

I'm going to try that. I hate locust trees.

What about the poison in the smoke when you burn that for firewood? It is more work, but for a firewood tree, girdling seems like a better way.

@@SY-zm6uh Locust wood is nasty and it stinks. Locust wood is not good for anything, including burning. Locust trees are an overgrown weed.

First off I can tell it was done early winter winter or early spring cause if you cut them down to about a foot in the middle of summer like your supposed to they will not come back up and if your in nor cal poisoning the forest just know it’s gonna grow anyways we get too much water goofy ahs
