Product Q&A

Answer:

We have been unable to find any articles that list that triclopyr can be used for stump treatment of banyan trees specifically. A typical stump treatment would involve first cutting down the tree, and then treating the fresh cut stump by brushing on an herbicide such as Fertilome Brush Killer and Stump Killer rather than the Hi-Yield Triclopyr Ester Ultra. This article suggest burning the stump after creating a trench around the base and roots, however, we recommend checking with your local Department of Agriculture as to what is allowed in your area regarding burning. Either way, the tree would first have to be cut down before herbicides or other techniques could effectively prevent regrowth.
