I have a 6 acre field that has been overrun by 1" willows in MN. I cut all of them down a couple weeks ago, and purchased a couple gallons of Gordon's Brush Killer (Trimec) to do the job. I have a large 100 gallon PTO sprayer to apply the herbicide.
The instructions on the label are somewhat vague on the application mix ratio. Anywhere from 1/2% to 2% mix ratios. The willows will come back up next spring with new shoots which is when I plan to spray for them, but I don't want to use too much Trimec - expensive to use.... I also want to figure out if I need more than a couple gallons.
Anyone have any guidance on what the mix ratio should be Trimec : water for small new shoot willows like this?
Also, I'd like to know if it is too late to spray this fall, or if I spray next spring, will be better to recut the willows prior to spraying, or if the Trimec will do the deed without recutting?
Appreciate any info.
