Not mine--but it was cut down about the same latitude in mid Fla as I live at. I do not have a picture or description of the leaves. Described as a fast growing "trash tree" with lots of sap when it was cut. Bark does not look like Chinese Tallow at that stage of growth either, but might be China Berry--I've never cut down a china berry tree..
Bark makes me think of Mimosa but it doesn't look like mimosa wood on the inside.
Some kind of Beech Tree? (ignore the blue tint lens they used)

Anyone? Thanks in advance.
 
Yeah, the bark sure looks Mimosa, but I cut 2 down a few years ago and remember them as having a darker heart and sapwood. I don't have any more Mimosa that I know of, but they did look a lot like that.
I've seen trees with those big dark grey/bluish color splotches on the bark, but can't remember what they were.

GB that tree was probably cut in Inyati's pasture. Really doesn't matter what kind of tree it is as he will probably burn it. I'm sure he is extremely proud of the new "stump" he created though. :lol2: :lol2: :hide:
 
Which leaves belong to the tree? The ones on the right looks like greenbriar .. a vine. Larger glossy leaf on the left would put it more toward a tung.
 
I don't know Joe--the pic was posted to me by a friend wanting to know what to treat the stump with--told him it would be hard to say without knowing what kind of tree it was and how long ago it was cut. It's near water and was growing in septic outflow field--leach field. I advised him NOT to use Tordon because it was liable to kill off a good bit of the biomass that keeps a leach field from stinking and the fact it is so toxic to aquatic life. He's in Ocala Fla, surrounded by waterways and Tordon, even the RTU may be banned there. I told him to recut the stump, below the fork if he could and immediately treat it with 3:1 Remedy/diesel mix on top of the stump and down the sides just to the point of runoff. I don't have any use for any of the so called "stump killers" that are basically stump rotters--potassium nitrate.
I have used Tordon here, but don't like to because of all the ponds and waterways I have here.
I did notice the vines and creepers but they don't look like the greenbriar we have here--I didn't see any thorns, and our greenbriar has thorns from ground level all the way along to the end of the vine.

I agree. And like you said, needs to be a fresh cut stump. The leaf on the left is glossy like a tung and tung escapes and flourishes in ditches and wet areas but without a better leaf its hard to say but either way your recommendation to him should do the job.

That has been my experience as well on everything except saw palmetto. Turns it brown, but it comes back most of the time.

Try spraying it in the fall. I think you will be surprised at how good it kills it. I get better than 80% using Garlon which is essentially the same thing unless you start splitting hairs.
