We have been battling Black Locust Trees for many years. We have used prairie burning several years also but that doesn't faze them much either. Todon doesn't seem to faze them at all. We recently cut and mowed them off again and used Tordon again. Today I noticed over 1,000 coming up from the roots. I spoke today with the ISU Agronomy Department. It sounds like Transline is the foliage spray to use. And Garland spray on stumps. Tordon is no good, I figured as much now, but the forestry department and no else had been any help on this matter till now. The Black Locust is a legume and the do sprout voraciously from the roots. Also they are spred by seed. He recommended waiting until there is more leaf growth and use Transline to get the chemical to the roots. It all originally started with 2 larger trees along the lane.
