A ready-to-use,
ready-when-you-are
option.
If the tree trunk is larger than 6 inches, the
cut-stump method is a better control option.
Applying the solution of Remedy Ultra plus
oil to cut stumps prevents resprouting and
kills the stump for good. Simply cut the
brush and spray the sides of the stump and
the outer portion of the cut surface, including
the cambium ring along the inner bark.
As with the low-volume basal method, you
can make this treatment any time of year,
as long as snow or water doesn’t prevent
proper application.
Equipment
Low-volume basal and cut-stump
applications require an oil-based carrier.
Be sure pumps and hoses are resistant to
oil-based carriers. Wands and spray tips also
should be chemical-resistant. Application
should be made with low pressure and with
a solid-cone or flat-fan nozzle. Adjustable
tips give you more control when making
individual plant treatments. A cut-off,
such as a strainer and check-ball valve,
or a low-volume wand can help avoid
wasting product.
So when one of those dead-of-winter
springlike days happens, grab a chain saw and
a sprayer and you have two effective tools for
conveniently cleaning up scattered brush.
Basal treat brush with trunks smaller than
6 inches. Cut down larger trees and spray the
stumps. The same mix of Remedy Ultra plus
oil works great for both treatments.
Low-volume basal — treat the lower 15 to
20 inches of the trunk.
Cut stump — spray the sides and outer portion
of the cut surface of the stump.

If your primary brush targets are
larger, more mature trees that require a
chain saw, consider the convenience of

resprouting.
