Pine Tree Exterminator

Prime, have you ever used a hypo-hatchet to kill trees ? I've thought about getting one to kill a bunch of Chinese tallow and privet.

More info, please.

The idea is good the design is bad. Rather than spending money on this just get a good sharp hatchet and a pump up quart sprayer and you are in business.

If you want to kill them but still be stuck with the job of getting rid of the dead stuff why not just spray with a good herbiced (remedy) then cut them after they;re dead. My preferred solution is to cut them at or just below grundlevel and spray the stub with remedy. It's alwasy seemed easier to me to cut and move the living stuff compared to doing it with dead stuff.

I tried one out once- like Jo said a good idea but poor performance. I use a sharp hatchet and a $1.79 qt spray bottle from Dollar General instead. I also tried a thing that looks like a spear that you jab a tree with and it injects herbicide under the bark- didn't like it either- poor performance and very heavy. A lot of the problem with those two devices is the orifice gets gummed up and you're not injecting herbicide but you don't know it. On the privet, because of it's thin bark I don't think you even need to cut it.

Does GA have cost share to replant the longleaf? A lot of money out there to help re-establish the longleaf in some areas. Sure makes good quail hunting also.

Yes, NRCS EQUIP. I'm all about quail habitat restoration.

Looks promising. I assume you could come back once everything is clear with grass or clover or alfalfa or something right or is the ground to sandy?

It will grow coastal bermuda for sure because it was in coastal bermuda before the sand pines were planted in 1980 and there are (were) vestiges still remaining that I recently killed with Imazipyr.
