Sometimes homestead owners have a problem that involves the need to destroy a tree growing in the wrong place. The article will discuss how to do this without cutting, quickly and discreetly.
Destruction by watering the soil with chemicals
You can quickly destroy a tree without cutting it down using herbicides. The following drugs are considered the most effective:
- Zenkor;
- MaysTer;
- Prometrin.
The process itself looks like this:
- The soil around the tree must first be well moistened. In dry soil, it will take a very long time for the substance to penetrate to the roots.
- The soil around the trunk is thoroughly watered with a herbicide solution.
Attention! When working with herbicides, you must strictly adhere to the instructions and observe safety precautions. Otherwise, you can harm your health.
The described method has a significant drawback - nearby vegetation may be damaged. To avoid this, it will be necessary to construct a deep fencing of the chemical treatment area made of plastic or metal.
To destroy a tree, you can use kerosene or diesel fuel instead of herbicides. Over the course of a month, you should gradually add flammable substances until the branches begin to dry out. More details about the techniques can be found in the attached video.
How to bring a tree to death using injections
To destroy a tree using this method, you will need the following tools and devices:
- Drill with a suitable drill bit 5-10 mm in diameter.
- An ordinary medical syringe.
Attention! Most effective application This method is achieved by introducing the drug into the circumference of the trunk every 5-10 cm.
Direct injections are carried out as follows:
- At a height of at least 1 m from the ground, holes with a depth of 5-6 cm are drilled with a drill. It must be taken into account that each of them must be located at an angle of 50° relative to the ground.
- Using a medical syringe, the drug is poured into the holes. To prevent liquid from leaking out, each hole should be covered with earth. Soon the plant will begin to dry out noticeably.
Drugs that are suitable for the technique:
- Ground;
- Tornado.
When performing this, it should be taken into account that the concentration of the toxic substance glyphosate in the selected product must be at least 200 mg. This method is suitable for destroying a tree whose trunk diameter is more than 5 cm.
Attention! If you take heavier herbicides, their main substances can penetrate the soil and kill neighboring plants.
Applying products to wood
An effective method for removing unnecessary vegetation is to apply appropriate preparations to the bark. By suitable means for this option are:
- Glyphos;
- Roundup;
- Tornado;
- Arsenal.
Advice. This technique is best suited when selective removal of a small number of trees is required.
Depending on how thick the tree’s bark is, poisonous substance applied in different ways:
- directly to the surface of the bark;
- through the cuts made.
The first one is suitable if the tree is young, with thin bark. In this case, the drug is applied to the surface of the trunk at a level of half a meter from the ground. Lubrication is continued until the liquid is completely absorbed.
Advice. Before treating wood, it is better to mix the toxic substance with oil. This will speed up its absorption.
If there is thick bark, the first option will not work. Here you will need to make cuts. It is better to use an ax as a tool. With its help, deep cuts are made around the trunk. Deforested areas are watered abundantly with herbicide. Be sure to take into account that the procedure will take effect quickly in cool, dry weather. Atmospheric precipitation capable of washing away toxic liquid and all work will go down the drain.
How to remove a root after it has dried out
After the tree has dried out and been cut down, a stump remains on the surface and roots in the ground, which poses certain inconvenience to the owners of the site. To quickly remove stumps, two methods are used:
- applying the product to the cut itself;
- lubrication of nicks.
A 10% butyl ether solution is very suitable for this type of work. If you need to remove several stumps, then use saltpeter. The procedure is carried out as follows:
- Holes are drilled in the remains of the wood.
- They are filled with saltpeter.
- All holes are closed with plugs.
The tree is left in this form until the next season. During this time, it will dry thoroughly, after which it will be much easier to remove the stump and roots.
Removing a mature tree is a complex and time-consuming process. However, using the above techniques it can be greatly simplified.
How to get rid of a tree: video
The appearance of stumps on garden plot associated with the periodic renewal of fruit trees, their natural death and clearing of the construction site. The presence of tree frames reduces the aesthetics of the garden area, complicates free movement and makes it impossible to erect new buildings. To return the space to its proper appearance and usability, you need to get rid of the stumps. Only in rare cases can they be left, adapted for a table or an artistically designed flower bed.
There are several ways
The process of stump removal does not always involve the use of special equipment and the involvement of specialists. It is quite possible to do it yourself, using only available tools and materials.
There are two approaches to destroying stumps - chemical and physical. Chemical methods(without uprooting) are based on the treatment of wood residues with reagents leading to their accelerated destruction or complete burnout during combustion. Physical methods(ordinary manual uprooting) involve the use of classic tools for work - a shovel, a saw and an ax.
Removal using saltpeter - chemical burning
This approach is universal for destroying stumps in most garden areas and adjacent areas. The essence of the method is to burn wood residues soaked in saltpeter, a strong oxidizing agent. A stump remover (potassium or sodium nitrate) allows not only the above-ground part of the cut tree to burn out, but also the deep roots.
The principle of preparation for removal is as follows:
- Several holes are drilled in the wood using the thickest drills possible. The process takes place in late summer or early autumn;
- potassium or sodium nitrate is poured into the resulting perforation to the top, which should then be poured with water to intensify the impregnation of the wood;
- the top of the holes is closed with pre-cut wooden plugs or wrapped plastic film, tightly tied along a tree trunk.
The prepared stump remains in this state until next summer. During this time, the entire root system is saturated with saltpeter and dries out. A fire is built around the stump, which must be maintained until complete destruction skeleton If the top cut of the stump is located flush with the ground, additional recesses can be drilled into it for pouring gasoline or kerosene. The combustible mixture is ignited, initiating the procedure of combustion and smoldering of the hemp throughout the entire volume. After complete burnout, the place where the stump was located is dug up and covered with earth.
How to quickly remove a stump without uprooting it using saltpeter, watch the video:
For one stump left from fruit tree medium size (up to 15 cm in diameter), about 2 kg of saltpeter is consumed. Its quantity affects primarily not the completeness, but the rate of wood burning. To achieve maximum destruction of the stump, including the roots, you should wait until the tree completely dries out after winter and spring rains.
For reference, in order for 1 kg of saltpeter to fit into a stump, you need to make twenty holes with a diameter of 1 cm, five holes with a diameter of 2 cm, or two holes with a diameter of 3 cm (depth - 30 cm). The thicker the drill, the faster the work will go.
Advantages of the method:
- minimum physical effort to prepare;
- almost complete removal residues, with the exception of the deepest roots;
- ease of implementation;
- lack of green shoots from the remains of roots in the future.
Flaws:
- During impregnation, the soil is saturated with nitrate. She is good fertilizer, however harmful in large quantities for tuber and fruit crops;
- long wait between preparing the stump and destroying it;
- the need to purchase, store and transport chemicals.
The process of burning a stump under the influence of saltpeter:
This method should be used with caution in peaty areas to avoid peat fire. Tree roots can go to considerable depths, becoming saturated with saltpeter to the very tips. The slow smoldering of root wood, which occurs with limited air flow, often initiates prolonged burning of the peat deposit.
Decomposition by urea
Preparation of a stump using this method is completely identical to the use of nitrate - the stump is perforated with drills of maximum diameter, and carbamide (urea) is poured into the resulting holes. The top of the holes is filled with water, after which the stump is tightly wrapped with a polymer film. After 1-2 years, the wood debris completely rots, and in its place is fertile layer soil.
Do not confuse urea and ammonium nitrate with each other. . This is absolutely different connections– urea is relatively harmless, while ammonium nitrate is quite explosive and toxic.
Advantages of the method:
- minimum physical work;
- the soil is not contaminated with nitrates;
- The stump is completely removed. This makes the site suitable for development, setting up flower beds and planting with any garden and vegetable crops.
Flaws:
- very long period of stump destruction;
- the need to purchase additional materials;
- high consumption of chemicals to remove several stumps.
For reference, to place 1 kg of urea in a stump, you will have to make about thirty holes with a diameter of 1 cm, eight holes with a diameter of 2 cm, or four holes with a diameter of 3 cm (30 cm deep). The consumption of urea for removing a medium-sized stump is selected in the same way as when laying nitrate.
Precautions when working with chemicals:
When using any fertilizers, it is recommended to use protective equipment. For working with saltpeter, old clothes and hand gloves are quite suitable. When working with urea, you don’t need to use such precautions, but you shouldn’t scatter the chemical all over the area or handle it with your bare hands.
It is advisable not to plant plants whose fruits or tubers will be eaten around the stumps being removed. It should also be taken into account that high concentrations of nitrate can “burn out” plantings at a distance of 0.5-1 m from the stump, so take care in advance about replanting the plants that you want to preserve.
Uprooting a stump with your own hands
You can quickly remove a stump using a tractor, excavator or uprooter ( hand cutter). Bringing large equipment can be inconvenient or even impossible due to the presence of fences, plants and equipped paths on the site. Buying a manual uprooter or hiring a specialist with his own tool is a very expensive undertaking just to remove one stump. To save money and effort, you need to attract one or two assistants and stick to general rules work.
Preparation for the procedure: Before removing a stump, it must be cleared of the surrounding soil. To do this, you can go two ways:
- excavate about half a meter of the nearest space using a small bayonet shovel. To prevent the soil from rolling back, it is thrown to the side with a shovel tool;
- dig a hole with a diameter and depth of about 1 and 0.5 m at a distance of 1-2 m from the stump, equipping it with a drain (gutter) from the remains of the tree. Then the soil around the stump is washed away with a stream of water from a hose. The greater its pressure, the faster access to the upper root system will open.
Removing the frame using a winch: To get a stump out of the ground, you can tie it along the trunk and roots with a metal cable pulled through a winch. The cable should extend to the winch from the place of the cut, thereby providing leverage for overturning the stump. The winch is mounted on a firmly fixed pole or other tree.
Mechanical removal: If it is impossible to use a winch, the tree frame can be removed by chopping or sawing off its roots. The specific method depends on the degree of openness of the roots and the availability of access to them with an ax or saw. If it is not possible to expose the root, it can be cut right in the ground using a pick - a metal scrap or thin pipe with an ax welded at one end. Windshield wipers often use a similar tool to remove ice from asphalt.
After cutting off the side branches, a central pillar usually remains, which is difficult to approach. It is already turning from side to side and partially rotating around its axis. You can break it with a deep vertical root by active turns and tilts in different directions.
A relatively easy way to uproot a stump without the use of special equipment:
Pros and cons of self-uprooting
Advantages:
- minimal monetary and financial costs;
- high speed of work (per day you can destroy the remains of two or three large trees).
Flaws:
- significant labor intensity of the process;
- in some cases it is impossible to approach the stump and dig a hole of suitable size (due to nearby paths or flower beds);
- lateral and vertical roots remain in the place of the stump, which can interfere with construction;
- the need to attract additional assistants.
To remove a small dry stump (no more than 10 cm in diameter), you can break it with a long crowbar using brute force. First, the stump is split in the middle by blows, and then the resulting fragments are loosened with a crowbar, like a lever, breaking off 10-15 cm below ground level.
Precautions you should not forget
While working with a winch, the stump being removed may suddenly jump out of the ground and fly several meters in the air. Because of this, you should move away from the possible flight path of the tree and remember that a broken rope or cable can also cause serious injury.
Safety elements when cutting roots:
- when using an ice pick, you must place your feet wide so as not to accidentally hit them through a layer of crumbled earth;
- You cannot come close to a person with an ax or chop down a tree stump together. Follow the rule - one chops, the other rests;
- When working with an ax, you should stand on your feet widely spaced so as not to be injured by the tip bouncing off a hard root.
What should you consider when choosing a removal method?
There are several criteria by which you can determine the optimal approach.
- The mechanized method using large special equipment is suitable for clearing a building site and requires free space and access routes. The method is suitable for removal large number stumps
- The chemical method is suitable for subsequent construction and renovation of the garden, if you have time to wait 1-2 years. Urea is ideally suited for obtaining a fertile area and has a minimum of negative effects, while saltpeter in high concentrations has a “scalding” effect on plants.
- Manual removal is used in most situations where a suitable sized hole can be dug around the stump. The method requires significant physical effort and minimal financial investment.
An area cleared of stumps can be used much more effectively than an area with uncollected tree trunks. Stumps prevent you from fully realizing the beautiful landscape composition, with the exception of rare design solutions. In addition to excellent functionality, a well-groomed area is always pleasing to the eye and safe for relaxation and maintenance. economic activity. After spending several days clearing the area of stumps, you can for many years simplify harvesting and caring for the surrounding area.

How to get rid of a tree: video
Every gardener strives to create best conditions for the trees growing on his site. And, nevertheless, there are situations when the owner has a question: what can you water the tree with so that it dries out quickly? To some, this method seems inhumane, but sometimes there is simply no other choice.
For example, it may happen that the tree is already old, its trunk is over 30 cm in diameter, but it is not possible to cut it down and fell it because there are buildings in the immediate vicinity or the entire space around is occupied by other plants. And then there is only one thing left to do - dry the tree using chemicals.
Using chemicals to kill a tree
If you decide to resort to chemicals to dry wood, then you should choose the optimal product for this. Most often, chemicals have their effect on root system plants. Before you water the root of a tree to make it dry, you need to know the composition of the soil underneath it. Sometimes, instead of roots, chemicals are applied to the bark of a tree or its living tissues.
If possible, you can cut down the tree trunk and then use chemicals to destroy the stump. This way you can get rid of unwanted trees on your site even faster. Let's look at what chemicals can be used to dry a tree.
Wood is a beautiful component landscape design and an important part of the development process of all life on our planet. Therefore, sometimes making the decision to remove it is very difficult, but if it has already been made, let's figure out how to get rid of trees on the site in the best way.
If you decide to resort to chemicals to dry the wood, then you should choose the optimal product for this. Most often, chemicals have their effect on the root system of the plant. Before you water the root of a tree to make it dry, you need to know the composition of the soil underneath it. Sometimes, instead of roots, chemicals are applied to the bark of a tree or its living tissues.
If possible, you can cut down the tree trunk and then use chemicals to destroy the stump. This way you can get rid of unwanted trees on your site even faster. Let's look at what chemicals can be used to dry a tree:
- Sometimes it is applied directly into the soil or into a tree trunk. More quick effect can be obtained by introducing saltpeter into a hollow tree: after a year the tree will dry out and it can be burned. Watering the soil will have an effect only after a few years.
- Ammonium nitrate It is similar in its action to sodium, but it also has differences. This urea-based saltpeter accelerates the process of wood decomposition, and then the tree roots turn into fertilizer. In this case, the trunk with signs of drying out can be uprooted, and the exposed roots can be watered again with a solution of ammonium nitrate.
- Roundup or Tornado herbicides are the most commonly used herbicides to kill unwanted trees. These products are used for the deconstruction of low-value young plantings, as well as, if necessary, to remove the tree stand in coniferous plantings. The drugs "Arsenal" and "Arbonal" have high ability penetration into wood, they are used for thinning large areas of forest, as well as in nurseries and other agricultural plantings.
- “Pikloram” is effective both when watering the soil and when spraying the tree itself. This drug has a depressing effect on the root system, which leads to drying out of the entire plant.
When using the chemical exposure method, it must be remembered that several factors are taken into account when implementing it. important features.
- The tree has the ability to protect damaged areas, that is, to “cork” them. This means that tissues exposed to herbicides may develop protective layer, which will worsen the degree of absorption of the drug and reduce its effectiveness. So if you want to remove a tree by applying chemical substance on its living tissue, do this immediately after notching. As a result, the chemical is absorbed as quickly and completely as possible.
- In some cases, trees belonging to the same species and growing next to each other have fused roots. Accordingly, if you apply a herbicide to one of them, the second will also receive its dose of the drug and will be either damaged or destroyed.
- There is a danger that the tree being removed will release herbicide into environment, and the rest of the plants will absorb it.
- To improve the accuracy of the effect, coloring substances are often added to the drug. In this way, you can control which tree has already been processed and which is still to be destroyed.
In addition, you should understand that tree removal is possible in other ways, without resorting to chemicals. This includes felling a tree as a whole, cutting it down in parts, and working on an aerial platform. Any organization professionally involved in arboriculture will tell you in more detail about the variety of methods for removing green spaces.
What should you consider when using chemicals?
Application chemicals inevitably requires compliance with precautions, as well as rules of use. One of the main problems with this approach to the destruction of woody vegetation is the detrimental effect on the soil. Specialized preparations, as a rule, are free from side effects in the form of deterioration in soil fertility, but this aspect should still be taken into account when choosing what solution to water the tree so that it dries up along with the roots.
Targeted treatment of one tree, even under maximum conditions limiting the effect of the drug, can lead to the death of other plants. This is due to the fact that trees can grow together with their roots, forming a single vascular network. Thus, if one specimen is poisoned, then the “related” tree soon dies. It is almost impossible to calculate this probability, especially if the site is dominated by dense planting. You can insure yourself only by carefully choosing what to water the tree with so that it dries out without affecting other plants. In this regard, it is important to take into account that trees not only of the same variety, but also of the same genus are susceptible to accretion.
- It should be remembered that when using chemicals for the destruction of trees, the person carrying out the work is responsible for the effect produced.
- Trees are able to “cork” damaged areas and naturally protect themselves. “Suberization” is the ability of wood to form a protective layer around damaged tissue. This layer can reduce the absorption of herbicides and reduce the effectiveness of the product.
- It should be remembered that trees can have one common vascular system, this happens as a result of fusion of roots. As a rule, fusion of roots occurs in trees of the same species, but it also happens that roots grow together in trees of the same genus.
Thus, the herbicide can be transferred from one tree, which threatens another tree that should not be eradicated, damaging, or destroying it.
- It is important to remember that once the herbicide is released from the tree, it can be taken up by other plants. Serious consequences may be that the destroyed tree releases a substance into the environment that is absorbed by nearby plants and can damage them.
- It should be remembered that adding coloring substances to the herbicide increases the accuracy of processing. Trees treated this way are easier to track and are less likely to be missed or re-treated.
- Remember that herbicide application instructions often warn against spreading them directly under the tree bark. But tree roots often grow outside the area directly below the tree's canopy.
A rule of thumb that can be used is that on the eastern side the tree's roots extend a distance equal to the height of the tree's crown, and on the western side - half that distance.

How to water a tree to make it dry?
Gardeners carefully select seedlings and try to plan planting as accurately as possible in order to get the maximum benefit from them. The characteristics of the soil, lighting, climatic conditions. However, in some cases, the owner has a question: “What should I water the tree with so that it dries out?” Yes, sure, this method cannot be called humane, but in certain situations there is no other way out. So, for example, if the tree is old, the diameter of the trunk is more than thirty centimeters, but it is impossible to cut it down, since there are other plants or buildings nearby. In this case, there is only one thing left to do - dry it using special chemicals.
Please note that almost all chemicals primarily affect the root system. Picking up this remedy, it is necessary to take into account the composition of the soil. There are also those drugs that affect the living tissues of the tree or the bark. IN ideal It is best to cut down the tree and then treat its stump. This will make the process of getting rid of the tree as fast as possible.
So, we present to you a list of the most the best means:
- Sodium nitrate. In most cases it is applied to stumps. However, it must be applied both to the soil in which the plant grows and to its trunk. To get quick results, it is recommended to introduce the mixture into the hollow, as this will allow you to get quick results. The tree will dry out in about one year, after which, if necessary, it can be burned. If you water the soil with saltpeter, it will bring results in a few years.
- Ammonium nitrate. It is very similar to sodium nitrate, but these substances have differences. This substance is made on the basis of a substance dangerous to plants - urea, which accelerates the process of wood decomposition several times. Thanks to this, their roots quickly turn into regular fertilizer. It is recommended to uproot a trunk that shows obvious signs of drying out. Re-treat the same roots that open with the chemical.
- "Tornado" or "Roundup". These herbicides are most often used to kill unwanted trees. They are an excellent means for destroying both coniferous and tree plantings.
- Arbonal and Arsenal. These preparations penetrate well into wood, making them recommended for forest thinning. However, they are also used in agricultural plantations and nurseries.
- "Pikloram." An excellent tool for destroying trees, which is used by watering the soil or spraying the plant. The product inhibits the root system, causing the tree to die.
And finally, remember, a tree is a living organism and should be destroyed in extreme cases. You should not get carried away with this procedure.

Quite a lot of people are faced with the fact that not far from their house there is a tree growing that is in the way (blocking the passage, shading the windows of the apartment, etc.), but the owner of the territory on which this tree is located refuses for some reason to issue a felling permit. There is a way out in this situation: it is necessary to quietly dry the tree on the root, and then cut it down as if it were dry.
If you are determined to destroy the tree, then I suggest you read the instructions.
1. So, first of all, prepare a drill with a drill whose diameter is from 5 to 10 mm, then drill several holes four to five centimeters deep in the tree trunk. Drill at an angle of approximately 45-50 degrees to the ground surface. The height of drilling holes does not matter.
2. Take a regular pharmacy syringe, fill it with a drug containing the active ingredient glyphosate (you can use any drugs, some of the most common are Tornado, Halidor, Ground) and pour it into the previously made holes. It is worth noting that it is necessary to use a drug with a concentration of the active substance of at least 200 grams per liter (the concentration is indicated on the product label). For example, to destroy a tree with a diameter of 30-35 centimeters, only 30-40 ml of the drug with a concentration of 360 g/l is enough.
3. In order to hide the traces of the injections, just carefully cover each hole in the tree with earth, brush off the shavings and be sure to make sure that the drug does not leak out, since it is clearly visible on the bark and takes quite a long time to dry. After the work has been done, the tree will soon begin to dry out.
It is worth noting that you can kill a tree with other herbicides, however, preparations with glyphosates, although they act much more slowly, however, after the roots die, these preparations are immediately inactivated by soil microflora, which cannot be said about heavier herbicides with active ingredients imazapyr and sulfometuron-methyl, which after the death of the tree will certainly end up in the soil, which can lead to the death of other nearby plants.

How to destroy a tree without cutting it down
What to do if the tree has grown so much that it begins to interfere with the foundation of the house, electrical wires, as well as other plants? Is it possible to kill it without cutting it down, quickly and reliably?
If the neighbor's tree is in the way
We will not give you advice on how to destroy a neighbor’s tree that is bothering you; for this purpose, there is a law that does not allow large trees to be planted closer than 3-4 meters from the boundaries of the property. If you have such a problem, perhaps you should seek legal advice and talk to your neighbors in the language of law and order.
They must remove the neighbor's tree themselves so as not to come into conflict with the law and those with whom they live next door. But every person has the right to dispose of trees growing on their own plot.
How to kill a disturbing tree easily and quickly?
Experienced gardeners It is recommended to drill into the trunk inclined hole so long that it reaches the core of the trunk, and pour liquid into it, which will begin to destroy the tree from the inside. It can be a strong acid - acetic, hydrochloric, formic. The acid kills the tree within a week.
Ask the railroad workers for a solution of dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, which they use to control brush and vegetation along the railroad tracks. This agent is also introduced into the hole drilled at an angle.
You can pour gasoline, diesel fuel, acetone into the hole - the effect will be the same. Don’t forget about herbicides - they destroy not only weeds, but also quite large trees. These are herbicides with glyphosphate Tornado, Arsenal and other products with a similar composition.
Herbicides are used in the same way as acids; after pouring in the killing liquid, the hole is closed with clay, putty, or garden varnish so that the liquid does not evaporate.
To kill a tree, you can spray its leaves with Roundup diluted in water in a strong concentration. First, the product destroys the leaves, then it dries itself, deprived of the possibility of photosynthesis and the production of necessary nutrients. Roundup can also be injected into a tree trunk, just as described above.
In addition, herbicides are applied directly to the bark in the lower part of the trunk - at a distance of 30-50 cm from the ground. This procedure is carried out from spring to early autumn. To prevent the herbicide from dripping from the bark, it is mixed with oil and coated with it on the bark.
There are special herbicides to destroy big trees and shrub arboricides, buy and apply them according to the instructions.
It is believed that a copper nail driven into it can easily and quickly kill a tree, perhaps big tree You won’t be able to destroy it with one nail; you will need several nails.
A small tree can be destroyed by burying several old batteries next to it, but their acid is harmful and dangerous for all living things.
An interfering tree can be killed without cutting it down, using salt - it is introduced in a solution with water - by watering the tree, or simply by burying it under the roots. It is advisable to apply salt under the central root, but it is also possible to apply saline solution under the peripheral processes. At the same time, keep in mind that the roots of the tree grow unevenly - on the eastern side they extend to a distance equal to the height of the crown, and on the western side - to half the height.
Using this feature of the root system, some summer residents try to destroy a neighbor's tree without penetrating into someone else's area. They just bury the salt at the fence next to the tree and that’s it. At the same time, no efflorescence occurs on the soil, and it can be very difficult to prove their malicious intent. The salt method works for 1-2 months - first the tree sheds its leaves and then dries out.
But we should not forget that salt in the soil will negatively affect other plants, as well as the water in the well or borehole. Water and soil are also polluted by other agents applied directly under the roots - herbicides, gasoline, diesel fuel, acids. Therefore, you need to act with them thoughtfully and carefully.
There is an ecological method of “killing” a tree. Reliable, but doesn't kill him very quickly decorative liana With characteristic name- wood-killer. This beautifully flowering vine entwines itself with a tree trunk and is attached to it not with suction cups or tendrils, like other vines, but with sharp thorns. As a result, the tree dies, and now it is important not to let it go to other, necessary and useful trees. A wood plier is used when it is not the tree itself that is in the way, but its roots.
