[MAIPC] Honeysuckle management

You can also use selective backpack foliar treatments using herbicides registered for water for plants 8' tall and smaller.  Best to spray from the water side into the dry land to minimize any spray from falling into the water.  For large shrubs/trees use the hack & squirt method; make a series of axe cuts around the bole of the tree and spray herbicide into the cuts.  Best to use H&S in the fall months when the plant is taking sugars into the root system.  Very effective on root-suckering species like Ailanthus, and better than cutting them down first which results in multiple  sprouts.

The dying/dead/decomposing root mass of the invasives continues to stabilize the soil while the live stakes colonize the site.

We've heard about allelopathy in shrub honeysuckle and are wondering how this will affect new plants. Does anyone have experience with this? Will the substance persist in the soil after the plants are removed? They intend to re-plant with native shrubs. If new shrubs are planted soon after the honeysuckle is removed, are the new plants at risk?
