[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1483284, member: 27848"] Locally it's referred to as Black Locust with thorns of 2-3" on mature trees. I have a little and cut the trees and their root shoots down. Across from me is a large pasture and a couple of years ago a helicopter doing airborne spraying doused the field pretty good. Don't know the chemical but being a commercial sprayer one would think that they knew what would work and what wouldn't. Some of the small (Dime coin size or smaller) trees died. Others look dead but in scraping the bark there is green. The large trees, (5") or so showed damage on the half that was toward the oncoming spray and no damage on the lee side (spraying done in the late summer). My take on the operation was that it was a financial failure, not achieving the desired effect, but the trees were everywhere. What's funny is that other trees, like Bois-De-Arc in particular, weren't affected in the slightest. So maybe that's a cue as to what was used. [/QUOTE]
