[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1025015, member: 18945"] Girdling generally means you go all the way around--leaving no gaps between cuts. With frilling, it is not neccesary to go all the way around and isn't even desirable. Girdling may work with locust, but will not with tallow and most gums unless herbicide is applied to the girdle cut--they are a soft wood and have a very thick sapwood or vascular phloem cross-section. You would have to girdle almost all the way to heartwood to kill a tallow, and most of the time, it will still live--same with a sweet gum. The trick is to cut thru the outer bark, and cambium, and just barely into the vascular phloem, where energy is moved up and down the trunk. The diesel is a penetrant and carries the herbicide into the full width of the vascular section. [/QUOTE]
