That's funny because that is what we are removing from our yard! |
Curious why? |
Why? Now is a great time to remove. When it sends up new sucker growth, just keep removing, or keep target spraying with roundup. Eventually it will all die. |
It's ... not that simple. https://extension.psu.edu/tree-of-heaven-control-strategies |
OP, I really appreciate all the advice about TOH! I’m not actually sure it was one, and really hope it was not. I kind of fudged that part of the description in my response. It was mostly Norway maples and that tulip tree now I’m really wondering what the last one was. |
I say, well done, OP! You got rid of it and, if you keep on top of the suckers, it will never send seeds out again! Worth it! |
No need to think about it any more. If something sprouts, cut it back and spray the cut with Roundup! |
Elm trees are not native to this region. Tulip Poplars are. You cut down the wrong tree |
They’re both native to the region. |
It was probably an Asian elm variety because our native variety can’t survive anymore. Big elms you see around are nearly always a non native variety. Asian elms should be considered native but the orthodoxy of natives only prevents this from being the case. |
