Any bush experts out there?

[Colonel Angus.sixpack]

I’m trying to kill the root systems of 3 crepe myrtles. Burned one stump, poisoned all. Still shooting up out of the exterior root system. Is there any way to kill these things without digging up the entire root system? I know most people consider them trees but I consider them invasive ****** bushes. I loathe them as much as Newman loathes Keith Hernandez.

I've spent a lot of my life in the Bush or at least trying to get in the Bush but you can't kill a 17in crepe myrtle. I hate those bastards worse than kudzu

Drill hole in stump fill up with a 1:1 diesel and 2-4D mix is what I have done on stumps before

Updyke it. Go rent a mini ex. Some of the hardest wood in nature.
Seriously, inject roots with kill in a 1ft buffer around the trunk.

inject deep into root system

I don’t know about a bush expert, but I know my way around one.

 

[Dawgbite]

So, is this like a full bush or a finely manicured landing strip?

Click bait!

 

[Pilgrimdawg]

About August when it is really hot and hasn’t rained in about 3 weeks give the stumps a good dose of diesel fuel to drink. I have killed Osage Orange like that and that stuff is almost unkillable.

I've been fighting the same problem for 2 seasons now. Best thing I've found is paint brushing on roundup on the leaves. I have a straw that I stuck paper towel into and use it as a brush. Works well for tactical applications.

It does kill the shoots, but they still come back. Good news is I can tell I'm slowing it down. Not as many shoots as the growing season goes on.

Tanerite around base of stump and back up some, no about twice that far, and shoot it.

Hope it ain’t too close to house. If you in city limits you might want to make a quick trip around the block, before the cops get there.

I remember back in the good old days I saw knew a woman who had an AB shirt that said "If you like my mountains you'll love my bush." Now its "Don't let these small fake hills fool you."

 

[thatsbaseball]

I know nothing. I just came for the replies.

[Perd Hapley]

Only two things I know about crepe myrtles:

1) 17 crepe myrtles.

2) There’s a term for when you over-prune them that is called “crepe-murder” because they grow back looking like crap. I’ve always found that term offensive, because it implies that they can actually be killed.

Not an “expert” by any definition, but you need a chemical called imazapyr. Final answer….

Tailor-made for an appreciation/educational post from IMPP but nothing so far.

1) 17 crepe myrtles.

Try IMAGE. Takes about 2 weeks but things do’nt comeback.

I haven’t had to deal with a “bush” since about 1985, thankfully. “Bush” is soooo 1985, after all. In 1986 we had to deal with tbe “landing strip”, but after that we didn’t have to deal with that any more. Things have been a lot less complicated since those days…..
