Kelly from Junction City, KS asked:
Q. I used Tordon on stumps and saplings. How long after applying should I wait before planting in the same area?
The TreeStuff Experts answered:
A. If you applied a small amount of Tordon to the cut surface of the targeted plants then you don't need to wait to replant.

 

Jake from Tyler, Texas asked:
Q. I cut down some trees several months ago and now there are shoots coming up from the stumps. Has it been too long for the Tordon to work properly?
The TreeStuff Experts answered:
A. No. You should remove the new shoots and apply Tordon to the cut surface of the shoots... and also apply it to the stumps.

 

Jeff from Cedar Hills, UT asked:
Q. I want to apply Tordon to the root suckers that grow many feet away from an existing Aspen tree. Would it kill the parent tree?
The TreeStuff Experts answered:
A. Unfortunately applying Tordon to these suckers will likely harm or kill the parent tree... assuming the suckers you are targeting are connected to the parent tree.

 

Kent from Quincy, IL asked:
Q. Does rainfall after applying Tordon to cut stumps diminish its effect?
The TreeStuff Experts answered:
A. You will not want to apply Tordon RTU (or almost any plant health care product) if you expect rain within the hour. You must allow a short window of time for the plant to absorb the Tordon, but otherwise there shouldn't be an issue.

 

Rob from Benton Harbor asked:
Q. Will Tordon kill Bamboo?
The TreeStuff Experts answered:
A. Tordon would be an effective herbicide choice for killing unwanted bamboo. Cut the plant low to the ground and apply a small amount of the product to the cut surface.

 

Mike from Pasadena, CA asked:
Q. A yucca plant is growing up against my foundation. What will be the best and easiest way to remove it without a backhoe?
The TreeStuff Experts answered:
A. We recommend using a saw to cut the plant as low to the ground as possible. Apply a small amount of Tordon to the newly cut surface. The plant will die and not grow back. It should eventually decompose naturally.

 

Glenn from Dassel, MN asked:
Q. I removed a tree one month ago and it is starting to grow back out from the stump. Will the Tordon still be effective if I apply it now?
The TreeStuff Experts answered:
A. Yes. Cut off the new shoots and apply the Tordon as you normally would to the stump.

 

Jim from Madison, AL asked:
Q. After killing the stump will Tordon poison the area for other plants? If so, for how long?
The TreeStuff Experts answered:
A. If used properly Tordon will not prevent another plant from growing in the same area. It is important to apply the Tordon directly to the cut plant surface. There should not be any run off.

 

Randy from Lyons, GA asked:
Q. Will Tordon kill roots and any growth from them?
The TreeStuff Experts answered:
A. Yes, Tordon will kill roots, although they can be more difficult to kill than stumps. One method is to cut the growth coming off the root and apply the Tordon to the cut surface. If you are able to apply the Tordon to the root itself it is even more effective.

 

Frank from Louisville, KY asked:
Q. Will Tordon kill honeysuckle?
The TreeStuff Experts answered:
A. Tordon would be an effective herbicide choice for honeysuckle. Cut the plant low to the ground and apply a small amount of the product to the stump.

 

Dan from Port Charlotte, FL asked:
Q. Will Tordon kill stumps without drilling into them and filling in center of the stumps?
The TreeStuff Experts answered:
A. Tordon is a powerful herbicide. The stumps will not shoot back out after Tordon is applied. However, Tordon will not dissolve the stumps or cause them to biodegrade any faster than normal.

 

Randy from Morristown, MN asked:
Q. Will Tordon work on the cut branches of a weeping willow tree? They grow back like crazy.
The TreeStuff Experts answered:
A. Tordon is a very effective herbicide. We would not recommend using it on a plant you do not wish to kill.

This stuff works great - 07/10/2009
Reviewer: M Sevcik
Used this on an acre of locust & hedge trees here in NE Kansas. Cut the trees at ground level and immediately applied the Tordon RTU (very small amounts) just enought to get the stump wet. I think I got very near 100% kill rate and importantly, no damage to the grass around the tree stumps. Strongly recomment this product.
