What’s the cheapest generic imazapyr for controlling sweet gum in a recently thinned loblolly stand? Is there something better to use?

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

Fire is so so... mostly top kill on the tracts we burn - and we have "expert's" doing the burn.

What time of year are they burning? Right now through September and October is the best time to do it. If the gum trees are over about 10ft tall fire will only stunt them and you would need to spray them! But anything under 10ft or so and a good hot growing season fire will kill the crap out of them!Originally Posted by Sasha and Abby

We have been lighting up 3rd week of April to end of May. I have also read about burning in summer... the "experts" don't want to burn then. I may over ride next cycle if this years torch does not Loog great.

Son you better hope the members of the Carolina Wildlife Syndicate don't find out where you live.

We do it right... patchwork burns.

I’ve used a “dill & fill” technique on them…wood auger bit in a drill, squirt bottle of full strength glyphosate. Drill a couple holes, squirt some gly in them, and it’ll kill full size trees with zero problems. I tested this out last summer and it zapped them. No noticed side effects on surrounding trees of any kind.

I tried this exact technique last year but I did mix my glyphosate with some diesel fuel. I dont think I killed a single tree I sprayed. It hurt them and the tops are bare this year but they are still kicking.
May try again with straight gly

On bigger trees, I put about 3 holes around it. No signs on life in them yet, a most of the big trees had the tops blown off of them by March from wind storms. I was surprised how well its seemed to work.

This is what I use. One hack and one squirt per 6" of tree diameter. I give 'em all at least two regardless of size and they'll be dust in no time.

For small tress or areas I want to keep as open grass areas I don't plant, I fill a 55 gallon sprayer with Crossbow and that takes care of the seedlings. Pine, oak and gum.

Yea I know about that recipe, was just trying what I had on hand to see how it would do.

What time of year did you do it? I drilled and sprayed some last spring and it didn't phase them I did it again right before deer season and it killed them.
Senior Member
About this time last year, maybe more into summer

I’ve about decided the only effective way to keep sweet gums knocked back is with a forestry mulcher followed by fire while the sprouts are small

Metsulfuron works well when mixed with triclopyr. It kills any hardwood and has foliar and root activity
Senior Member
I’m wanting to do a foliar application. This stand was burned three years ago and it knocked back a lot of gums but they are back. I want to kill them now and burn again next year.
