[QUOTE="TexasRancher, post: 1760207, member: 8359"] I chainsaw them up and stack in piles. Make sure you only cut them in late fall...October to December cuts shock the tree and they have a better chance of dying off completely at the base during winter. Do not create a pile over any existing stump (as they do have a tendency to regrow). Two times a year cut back any new grow-foliage at the stumps. I do flush ground cuts, no stumps- so i can quickly go over them using a hand sickle cutter. Do this trimming technique for 2 to 3 years and the entire root system underground will be dead. I don't use any chemicals, just hit them in spring and late fall. I would buy property with these thorn trees on them...I'd jockey for a purchase price discount due to the clean-up required and years of tree maintenance. Previous owner let it become overgrown...also, might be better to dozer them off into a pile if it's infested...instead of chainsaw. Remember: Always looks worse than it is. [/QUOTE]
