I have a pasture with a bunch of 2" to 5" cedar trees.What can I use on the stumps to kill them so I can use a brush hog in the future?

I was told of a trick to burn them out. Build a fire over the stump, and get it burning good and hot. Lay a metal stock watering tank over the fire and prop up one side of the tank to let oxygen in. Let it smolder for a day or 3 and when you came back you'll supposedly have a hole burned into the ground where the stump was.

Just had a bunch of trees removed from my property. Had one large sitka spruce, maybe 120-140 ft tall, the logger used a 20 ton trackhoe and it took everything that hoe had to break that stump loose. He dug around all sides and had just enough oomph to push it over. He had to scrape a ton or so of dirt off the bottom before he could lift it.

Cut them below the lowest branch and they will die. When it comes to fence posts, it depends on the TYPE of Cedar. The Cedars in the midwest (the "weed" cedars) are actually Junipers. The stump will rot in a year or two. A fence post from them MIGHT last a 2-3 years before it rots.

Not all cedars die when they are cut. The ones with the red berrys do not.

Cedar trees are trees -- not bushes. As long as you cut them lower than their lowest branch, they will die.

how about a chainsaw, the stump probably should have been cut loer to start with,, but you may have to go back and trim them lower,, a bush hoh will go over probably up to 3" without hitting,, and if it hits the top no sweat it will just shear it,,,

I would say that will be your quickest and easiest way.. next time you will cut them lower to start and not have a problem, goo dluck pat

A solution of 80/20 mix of basal oil and Triclopyr 4 (sold as Garlon 4, Remedy, Tahoe 4 and other brands) will do an excellent job. That works out to 26 oz. Triclopyr and 102 oz. oil to make one gallon of mix. You can paint the stumps after cutting them down or treat the first 12-18" of stem from the ground up all the way around. The oil will help the herbicide penetrate the bark and kill the trees. If you can get a good deal on Generic Roundup (Glyphosate) you can treat cut stumps with it undiluted and get a good kill.

Cedar is slow to rot. Here we use them for fenceposts. You may well have to rip them out!
