[QUOTE="milesvb, post: 559857, member: 413"] While the stem spray method is the same the foliar method is not. For one the timing is different for mesquite. It works best to spray it as soon as the foliage gets mature and remains healthy. The optimal time is June and July while August and September may give reasonable results provided adequate rainfall but kill percentage usually goes down. Second, Reclaim or Reclaim/Remedy tank mix will kill mesquite with a foliar spray. Grazon will just pi$$ it off. The reason, I suspect is the defoliating nature it has on mesquite. The longer those dried leaves stay hanging the better the kill or so it seems. If a mesquite (often those with drought stress or insect damage) defoliates quickly after spraying then you can expect resprouts when conditions are favorable the next growing season. and a side note... The Grazon/Remedy/Glyphosate concoction I use to clean out fence lines will not kill mesquite either. They brown off and appear dead but come back with a vengence sometimes in the same growing season. It's the ONLY thing I've found that this recipe won't kill. [/QUOTE]
