Cedar & Brush Control - Advice needed - 06/17/15 03:38 AM
Looking to improve a piece of property that has suffered from neglect for 20+ years and issue number one is replacing the fences and part of that will be tree removal.
I'm not in a position right now where I can hire a D-6 to come in and do it the easy way; so I'm getting a new chainsaw and exploring other options as well.
I'm curious as to what methods you guys use to kill/remove brush. I'm looking to....
1. Take an ATV mounted 40gal sprayer and spray all the fence rows and berry thickets with round up.
2. Come back after the weeds and tall grass are dead and chainsaw the larger trees that are in the fence rows.
3. Then while I'm at it, use the "Hack and Squirt" method to walk around and kill cedar and other undesirable trees.
The property is located in Oklahoma roughly 1-1.5 hours north of Dallas, in roughly the same area as the Choctaw Casino.
So what do you guys with experience in that part of the country recommend for any other options I have to remove and or kill these unwanted trees?
Any advice is appreciated - especially on what herbicide you would recommend for the hack and squirt killing of cedars and other unwanted trees?
