<p class="MsoNormal">I know Art Gover did some studies on controlling Ailanthus with herbicide. Unfortunately, the worst results on Ailanthus would be cut stump treatment(well worse would be no herbicide at all). I would expect some sprouting still using
that cut stump option. Hack n Squirt with 50/50 glyphosate late in growing season (now thru late-October) leaving a little bit of intact bark between each hack works really well on the larger trees. Basal applications with Garlon 4 Ultra 25% and Basal oil
75% work well in the same period for your smaller stems under 4”. These are the results that Art produced doing his own research on Ailanthus. If you decide you will be cutting these trees down after herbicide treatment, I would like to see at least 6-8
weeks after the treatment is made.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Does anyone use oil-based triclopyr rather than water-based on ailanthus as a stump-cut treatment? We’re looking to remove a large number of ailanthus in DC before the spotted
lanternflies arrive in force, and the vendor is proposing to do a stump-cut treatment with triclopyr. I want to recommend that they use Garlon-4 or equivalent rather than Garlon-3a or equivalent, because the herbicide can be applied to both the sapwood on
the stump and the bark on base of the stump. But I also saw a study from Italy that indicated that glyphosate is better for stump-cut treatment of ailanthus.<o:p></o:p></p>
