How to kill trees that you don't want

Some are managing oak plots for green flooded timber.
This seems awfully easy to do and you could have a healthy oak Grove fairly quickly by killing off all the undesirable trees.

Arsenal Apply on the trunk of most hardwoods. they will get a tummy ache . Hard to determine cause of death.

Does this actually work on a mulberry tree?
I have them, hate them, and would kill em all if I knew this works.
My current method is to use brush killer or roundup repeatedly until.the tree dies then cut it.
Cutting them just makes more suckers.
I have maples I need to kill too.
They just grow back if I cut them.

I looked and is not cheap. $50-80/quart depending on which supplier.
I have a fence with asshole neighbors.
They won't let me cut the trees but want me to "loan them the tools".
When has that ever went well?
I'd like to kill the trees from my side.
I've never had such territorial neighbors. Guess which culture.
I think they're from the plainsman tribe.

Damn you Mountainofcrap.
My neighbors rent so them getting territorial over a tree growing in a fence line is not even an argument.
It's my fence therfore I do whatever the hell I want no matter what your dumbass says.
It's not trespassing to cut a tree yet I honor their stupid wishes.
The tenants I'm describing are criminals. I have published evidence. A newspaper took pics of my neighbor breaking into the mall during the antifa riots.
Idiots gunna idiot I guess.
Your move.

Oh..I'm getting texts from members that haven't posted in years that are watching our little drama play out.
Make it good. :scooter:

as you admitted....fenceline...which implies the tree is only partially on your property...not fully.....no trespassing for you!! Criminals or not...were they charged and convicted?.....they are the current occupants....don't like it?...move. But since you lack the thought of actually discussing the issue the the actual landowner, like an intelligent person would....ya....there's that as well :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Trees that I want to kill that come back if you cut them. I cut them and then I take my electric drill and drill a bunch of wholes straight down into the trunk. Then I carefully pour concentrated round up into them so it all ends up getting absorbed.

That's worked well at least for the relatively small trees that I've used it on.

I'm learning and it's always slow.
There are stump killer products.
I didn't think of that.
Your idea is good..That expensive tree stuff in the video works too. I may have to try that and use a drill and a syringe to squirt the stuff into a hole. Put on muh Dr. Wang lab coat. :lol:

And we should have shot at them honkers.
The fiasco afterwards trying to retrieve them would have been an adventure.
