  • Bobby Watkins explains a very simple method to use when removing undesirable trees from your property. The hack and squirt method is a very effective way to remove any unwanted trees. This method allows sunlight to reach the forrest floor and encourage growth of native browse vegetation for wildlife.

    All the negative comments clearly come from people who do not own their own land. There are trees that are quite a nuisance and will wreak havoc on your yard equipment. Not to mention they will also prevent the growth of desirable trees. I remove trees from my land but I also replant with trees that I want such as fruit and nut trees.

    When I'm seventy I might try that. Some of those trees previously known as junk wood are part of a cycle that when die out improve the Forrest soil and fertilize those more valuable trees. Sugar makers now recognize Some Ash and Basswood trees help keep a sugar maple stand healthy. The trees do all suck and are somewhat at war. In gardening it's called thinning and yea it can create healthier trees. Too much thinning can be counter productive. It takes a knowledgeable person to choose what stays and what goes, and those decisions are not always correct. The people that know the most about trees are also the ones who have made the biggest mistakes, the Forrest service. Now we have them to learn from.

    For those that dislike the idea of killing any tree, you need to consider that the net effects of the hack and squirt method will likely be positive GAIN, not a net loss. How is this possible? Because the extra space created for the trees left behind and the removal of competition for water, nutrients, etc. allows for the beneficial species to thrive and grow faster and larger than would otherwise be possible. That allows the hard and soft mast producing trees to expand their mast production and thereby provide far more food for wildlife. Also, with hack and squirt, the dead tree is left standing and creates a dead snag. Dead snags are hosts for all sorts of wildlife for nesting and dens. In most forests, there is a shortage of dead snags so creating more dead snag trees greatly benefits wildlife. Overall, done correctly, selectively killing tree species that are not beneficial to wildlife or economically valuable for timber can greatly improve the forest and wildlife habitat. Killing for the sake of killing isn't being advocated in this video. Wise removal of unwanted species so that the net effect is a far more beneficial forest is what this video promotes. Thanks for sharing a great video!

      @TrehanCreekOutdoors Год назад +10

      Paul, let me comment a little more about the strategy being applied to killing trees in this video. This video clearly states the goal is to promote mast production trees that will generate food for wildlife, particularly for deer and turkeys, perhaps even squirrels. But equally important is to kill off trees certain trees that do not have the potential to become a marketable and profitable tree for timber harvesting.
      If you will look carefully, and listen closely, the very first small hickory tree that is hacked and squirted is a hickory that has branched about 5 feet off the ground into two trunks. In the video it is stated "This tree will never make a log" which is true. So it has no real timber harvest value and therefore needs to be removed. Essentially, the best trees which are the most likely to grow tall, straight marketable timber are given preference and all other twisted, distorted, curved, or multiple branching trees are sacrificed.
      No exceptions were shown in this video, but most tree removal programs would make exceptions for especially beneficial trees for wildlife, such as a wild persimmon tree, a crabapple tree, a wild cherry tree, or some other fruit bearing tree that happened to be in the forest. Some of those kinds of trees just don't produce a lot of marketable timber but their wildlife food value is huge.
      I fully agree that hickory, chestnuts, and other nut trees should be left in a forest where wildlife benefits were the major concern. But clearly here, the focus is also heavily weighted toward timber production. If the time horizon is long enough, it makes great sense to leave a hickory tree, for instance, in the forest to grow. But most timber growers want to generate a profitable harvest within a prescribed time period, usually 30 years or so, and thus they favor faster growing timber. FYI, the average life span of a shagbark hickory is 200 years with some growing to be 300 years old.
      On my land which is purely managed for wildlife first and only secondarily managed for timber production, I do leave all hickory trees. I also leave Osage Orange trees and certain other species which add variety to the forest. Nature thrives best in mixed environments where there is "something for everyone" so to speak. My forest is a streamside management zone which hasn't been cut in almost 50 years. It has a wide variety of both hardwood and evergreen species native to Mississippi growing in it. And it is extremely attractive to all forms of wildlife. I even leave dead snags and blown down timber as those element create great homes for many wildlife species. But I also do have to create thinned areas where the sunlight can get to the ground so that native vegetation can grow. This approach, along with small clearings planted with food plots really allows wildlife to flourish.
      The real point of this video is that human intervention which utilizes timber stand management practices in a wise manner will produce much better results than simply allowing whatever springs up in the forest to grow rampant and out of control.

      The active ingredient is Isopropylamine salt of Imazapyr.
      It contains no heavy metals and is an ORGANIC compound and is used in plastics, pesticides, rubber chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and petroleum products.
      Chronic toxicity tests for imazapyr indicate that it is not carcinogenic, mutagenic, or neurotoxic.
      It also does not cause reproductive or developmental toxicity, and is not a suspected endocrine disrupter.
      Imazapyr degradates are no more toxic than imazapyr itself, and are excreted faster than imazapyr when ingested.

      Do not use Draino (sodium hydroxide/lye). If you treat the sprouts with a glyphosate, such as RoundUp, you can kill the parent tree. There are some root barriers one can use to protect certain locations. Some have root growth inhibiting hormones, others are simply a thick polyethylene barrier that will last for decades below grade. Most roots do not penetrate much lower than 2', except in very light, sandy, soils.

The fire will definitely kill the roots, and soon enough tree will fall. Now you have enough wood to keep you warm in winter. Thank me later.

    The problem I always run into is whether the chemical will go down into the roots and travel to kill my desired species that I'm wanting to save. I was told that it wouldn't with remedy, when doing basil bark treatments, and found out that it killed some of my desired oaks. It's a large loss when a large desired tree dies. I assume if doing more than 1 squirt or hacking and squinting several small trees in close proximity to my desired species, may kill my desired species, when using Arsenal. Can you confirm that I am wrong? Thanks, Steve

    I use my cordless drill with a 3/8ths bit & drill several holes around the tree at a good downward angle, if it's a big tree I'll do 3 - 4 holes angled as deep as the bit goes. The angle of the hole keeps the RU from running out. The first squirt sucks in pretty fast so I refill the holes again if the tree is super thick & has Dutch elm, or a big ash tree with ash Boer I give the tree more RU. In a couple of weeks, it starts to die off. And soon I'm making firewood for hunting camp.
