[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1405690, member: 18945"] I agree with the "Do not mow" advise, and it applies to other perennial invasives (but not all) as well. It's like pruning a rose or grape vine back..it's done to encourage growth, both above and below the ground. Cedar? They can be just as invasive as the blackberry, and as others said, suck up a LOT of water. If you're going to go the cut stump treatment route on the small trees, spray the stumps immediately after cutting. If you spend all day cutting, then spray the next day, it doesn't work very well, especially during active growing--the stump tops have already been sealed off with sap by the time you spray them..no penetration of the herbicide down thru the cambium layer. I'll cut 1/2 dozen with the saw, put the saw down, pick up the backpack sprayer and coat the stump tops, then pick the saw back up and cut some more. rinse and repeat.. Remedy is good stuff, and I use a lot of it, but it isn't the end all-be all of herbicides. It doesn't work well on anything that has a shiny slick leaf. It needs to be mixed with a penetrant on that type foilage..like diesel. (I haven't used Surmount so I can't comment on it, but have seen it recommended lots of times here at CT) [/QUOTE]
