Doctor FinnBarr Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Do these actually work on trees? Killing them I mean. Plenty for sale on Amazon so someone must be buying but is it more an old wives tale or do they actually work? Need to get rid of one of those fast growing tree/weed things. Every year I cut it down but the next year it comes back thicker and stronger. Its got to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Boy Named Crow Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Pour diesel on the soil around the roots, copper nail in the tree and its as good as gone* * According to a mate of mine who fixes radio links and often has issues with other people's trees breaking the "line of sight"...

Be careful with pouring diesel on the soil. You could have SEPA, the Greens, Climate Extinction, not to mention Greta Thunberg on your case.
