Hi,I want to kill a mess of small pine trees, probably no higher than 3 feet tall and smaller than 2" in diameter. Will this kill them? Can I sprr

Prob. not Jim as this is a weed killer...the Pines more than likely will have to be cut down and then a stump killer applied :-)

Yes it will kill them. However, pines are evergreens. If they are cut off at the ground, they will not grow back as most plants will. You can use a machete to chop them off, or for a greater number of them a bush hog. Once they are cut off near the ground, they will not return.

I would doubt it. This kills grass and weeds well although there are some "tough" weeds that require a higher concentration. I've used it to kill weeds in ground cover evergreens where it gets the needs but not the evergreens (they may brown a little for a time). Maybe if you used a much higher concentration than recommended for weeds?

It depends on the species of wood. Cedar is pretty soft so you might see ricochet when the compressed air cylinder runs low.

It works on leaves with longish stems, so I don't see why not. My pine needles are about 4" long and it works just fine on them. If you have longer needles, I wouldn't imagine it has much trouble as it's a matter of flipping them out and as long as any part of the needle/stem/leaf/bract is caught, it seems to do the job. It also works fine on very small leaves which are actually harder to get out. Love the little thing.

I used mine to take down lilacs. They have very hard wood. It takes awhile to get through, but some of the branches at the bottom were 3". If I were to do it again I would use a sawsall or chain saw.

Yeah, works great cutting small trees up to 8-10 cms in diameter... very powerful! 100% recommended.

I used it to cut some small tree limbs, maybe 3-4" across. Cut them with no problem.

To be honest i haven't even used the blade it comes with. I bought the beaver blade (chainsaw teeth) and i've cut saplings from 1"-5" no problem. My intention for this brushcutter was to clear my back lot which is filled with pine (soft) and so far its been great!

I have a large honey locust tree in the area where I used the Tordon RTU and haven't experienced any damage to the tree, however it has been only a couple of months. I also didn't use very much, I had several weed tree's in the fence line that had gotten to about 2-3 inch diameter. I cut them as low to the ground as possible and painted the stumps with the Tordon, I didn't spray or pour it on the ground. So, I hesitate to say it's fine but so far so good with a very well established tree and limited use. By the way, it killed the weed tree's DEAD, lol!

By far the hardest trees I have had to kill are Brazilian Pepper trees. If you cut the tree stump about one foot from ground level (I like to leave the stumps tall enough so that I don't turn my ankle on them) and then pain the stump with UNDILUTED Glyphosel Pro, it will probably kill to the root the first time. On occasion, with trees that had diameters of one foot or more, the tree will try to sprout from the stump. In this case I simply spray the new green foliage and that does the trick. It also works on Mexican Petunias which are very hard to kill.

Hello Jim B. I drilled a 3/4" hole in a scrap of pine. The tip of the half round goes in however, it would be unsatisfactory for what you are doing. You might think about the round file in this set.

No, it will not harm the tree, just do not get spray on the tree, the bark or exposed/ surface roots.

The easiest for me would be a log spud. I spudded over 100 white pine logs over 35' each for a log home by hand with couple of log spuds. It's more like knocking the bark off with the weight of the spud. That way, you don't degrade the log itself with a log wizard or something that would grind and degrade the log. My opinion.

Depends on what you're killing...but in any event you don't mix with water, because product is in a kerosene base. It is also pretty specific to killing certain trees/plants and you should check the product information to see if what you have is on their list. I use it for Ailanthus/Tree of Heaven, and apply it straight--it will kill up to about 6" diameter if the trunk is coated from about 18" down to the ground, on all sides (bigger trees need slices cut in bark to apply; Google 'stem injection' and you will find a good video fr Australia)

Remedy will kill everything including small trees if it get s on the leaves. I do not have personal experience of of sandburs but feel confident that it would.

Yes. I have used it for leaves, small twigs and branches. I have run branches up to about 3/4 of an inch. It is very easy to clear if it clogs.

Definitely not - it could kill them. You also will need to remove any plants.

Thank you for replying. I have a flowerbed filled in with river rock that I have been having difficulty removing pine needles from. I don't want to get every last one but it looks shabby the way it it.
