Just pulling your leg. Do you think Garlon 4 is stronger than Remedy? Remedy is deadly, just wondering as we still have some tallows to kill on our new place. Some are big and I would rather spray the 12 to 18 inches of tree base like I do on smaller trees....and maybe a stronger chemical would help. Drilling the holes can be a pain, but it does work.

I’m not an expert. I know Garlon 4 in the wind will kill 100ft tall oak trees if they are downwind. It will turn a cutover into a desert. You don’t have to drill into trees or chop on them. Spray a ring around the base of the tree and it’s dead. Get the mist on the leaves and it’s dead.

If you have ever seen grown up right o’ways that are completely dead, that’s Garlon. It’s bad stuff.

Wow. I would say definately more stout then Remedy. I hate my tallows trees, but I have to many oak trees to take a chance. Thank you.

Remedy and Garlon4 come from the bottle at nearly equal amounts of the same active ingredient. 50/50 with diesel is a real hot mix for either. The label rates are closer to 20-25% in diesel, water, or methylated seed oil.

Overkill is underrated, but be very aware of any potential for runoff or desirable tree roots that might run underneath treated trees.

Ive been killing a lot tallows on my place the past year. Best 2 ways seem to be the hack and squirt method and base spray. I mix remedy with diesel. U don't need to mix it near as stout or even with diesel for the smaller trees. The base spray method seems to work faster due to getting the poison into the bark. Ive also drilled half inch holes and filled em with the same mixture. That also works but a lot slower. Good luck I hate them things.

Thanks for all the replies, it’s time to go to work! I’m going to mix Remedy and diesel in a spray bottle or is a cheap pump up sprayer better?

Round Up or another glyphosate product (Eraser, etc.) with a surfactant (that's important) works on them. But its non-selective, so you would potentially kill the grass under them, but you would likely do that with diesel anyway. Some glyphosate come mixed with surfactant. I would at least test this before you spray diesel.

I have gotten away from using diesel here in the last few years, largely due to the fact that its messy and I have found that other things work better in the mix.

I normally mix with water and hate diesel, even though I drive one! Grass isn’t a issue, since the neighbors do nothing, not even mowing, I’m hoping to get a 5 ft. dead zone!

I used cheap pump ups for a while a found that the real cheap ones just are horrible from the get go. I now use the slightly more expensive ones with a metal (could be brass or copper) wand. Seems to be more durable and had lasted longer. That being the case, these are not “tools” to be kept forever. Once they go bad, it’s easier to replace

Tordon RTU chop wound in trunk few spots and squirt in a few tablespoons ..last couple bottles i got at TSC...in a few months its history and rots faster for some reason
