Best way to treat gorse stumps

johngalway · 2010-05-12 18:33:15

Hi folks, I'm going to be chainsawing some tall gorse. What should I use on the stumps to prevent regrowth? And how is it best applied please? ATB, John

Heard that one before, it should work. Best applied without dilution and with food colouring added to make sure you don't miss any.

I know that one way of killing off Gorse and Rhododendrons is to drill a hole in the trunk and fill it with 4:1 diluted Glypohosate. Very effective.
Never thought of using dye, thats a good trick.
