<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tree of Heaven is a big problem in Reston. Due to the make-up of our open space, in many areas surrounding recreational facilities and homeowner property, we cannot leave dead looking standing trees for months at a time. Residents complain
and it reduces the “curb appeal” that the Association is trying to improve. <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like your input on this matter. When applying Triclopyr in a basal bark treatment, how long does the tree need to stay before we can cut it down? (2 months? 6 months?)
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In certain cases, I think we’ll be forced to do a cut stump treatment instead. We typically use glyphosate at 20% on the stump. How problematic is this method with Ailanthus? I know it can be effective in killing the large tree but then
we have runners to manage. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for sharing your thoughts,<o:p></o:p></p>
