    You don’t want trees next to your fences. Kill it all.

    Well it's old fence rows that need to be redone completely. Want to use the trees as my post and the reason why I don't want to kill them. They also act as a visual and sound barrier for the house.

    Mix whatever you choose 2-3x hotter than recommended and stay upwind. Doesn’t hurt to use a heavy garden rake or hatchet to scar up the vines and leaves prior to spraying. Use a surfactant. Spray liberally on a warm, dry day.

    Gotcha. We have a lot of old electric fence where the trees have grown out to the point of having to put insulators on them to keep from shorting it out. Fence stays tight though.

    Be careful or you will kill the trees.

    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-

    I've been working on a bushy area in my yard that has some poison ivy. I have vines that grow up through the bark of Palmetto trees that I don't want to kill. I used a mixture of Triclopyr, Glyphosate and diesel fuel and it killed vines I physically applied it to but I still have vines occasionally reappear from the root stock.

    Be careful with the debris. Even the ground up dust for old dried leaves can give you a bad case of the itch. Burning it and getting in the smoke can even cause blindness. Zanfel ointment is the best remedy I've found for the rash.

    My source for that good stuff has dried up. I'm about to need a two gallon jug. Best price I found over here is $250.00 It is one of the better sweetgum killers we use.
