I plan to remove many laurel cherry tree seedlings; most are 1/2 inch or less in diameter. If I lop the stem a couple of inches above the ground and apply a squirt of Fertilome B/S killer now, will the plant be killed, or should I wait a month or two? Thanks, Fred
You can use a product like the Fertilome Brush Killer and Stump Killer as either a foliar spray or a cut stump treatment. For a stump treatment, you would cut the stumps and apply the product undiluted directly to the fresh cuts. It may be difficult to do a cut stump treatment on very small seedlings, so you can wait until the seedlings have some leaves and are actively growing. At that point, you could do a foliar spray by using 4-8 oz in 1 gallon of water at a rate of 1 gallon of solution per 500 square feet, being sure to wet all leaves thoroughly.
