Great statement and I see where you would think that. Chopping at that height allows the plant to still get it to the roots. Trees will pull from the trunk the entire winter. The truck can act as a storage during winter and the poison will slowly creep ( gravity) down into the roots. Hope this helps. Have a great day.
@@StewartFarmApiary makes sense. May take a bit longer. I think I’ll experiment and mark some trees this month and try it. I did a lot of hack n squirt august-October on my property on sweet gums.
Watch our Silvopasture Benefits video to get a look at the pasture before: ruclips.net/video/cRm_nVJkiII/видео.html
Didn’t think this would work in winter bc all the energy is already in the roots and no photosynthesis is going on to bring the poison to the roots?

Also, why even leave a bunch of widow makers in your pastures?
Just the best way I have found.
Why not just girdle the tree and not worry about poison on your property?
I have just found this method to just be easier. Thanks for the feedback.
