After an application of Remedy Ultra Herbicide, a 5ft mesquite would probably take a good 3-4 weeks to kill before it can be cut down. If you sprayed on August 1st, we recommend giving it another weed or two before cutting it down but we would still recommend to spray the stump after cutting it just to be safe.

Our recommendation is to cut them back as much as you can, and apply the product undiluted on them where you have cut them. If that is not possible, you can make cuts into the branches and stems with a hack saw and apply the product to those cuts.
