[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 955209, member: 18945"] Bigfoot---I can't say with locust, but chinese tallow which also has smooth bark when young and a rough bark when older (about 2 yrs) On young trees, I cut 3-4 slashes, depending how big the diameter of the tree is. I use 20% Remedy Ultra with the remaining volume diesel on the small ones. On the more mature ones, I use 75% Remedy to 25% diesel and frill it all the way around last fall. I have tried ringing the whole trunk with a chainsaw cut, and had poor result on big trees. I also tried drilling several 3/8" holes near the bottom of the trunks and squirting the 20% Remedy mixture right in the holes, with only moderate luck. Every bigger tree I have frilled has died with very few re-sprouts. IF you are going to go the basal treatment path, TAMU's brush busters literature recommends: The recommended mix rate for smooth bark tallow trees is 15 percent RemedyTM. This equals 19 ounces of RemedyTM per gallon of total mix. A 25 percent mixture (32 ounces per gallon on total mix) of RemedyTM should be used on rough-bark tallow trees. [/QUOTE]
