    Yes that's the 'normal' way of treating plants with systemic herbicide Dai. But the leaves absorb it and then transport it to where and via what?

    As Harmonyarb has said the FC are using the method with rhododendrons.

    Anyway, watch this space and in July I'll post a pic of a dead willow killed via intraveneously applied glyphosate.

    If it doesn't work I'll eat a raw leek. If it does will you eat a raw haggis?:D:D:thumb: Or will we both sit down and enjoy a bowl of leek and haggis mash:dbgrtmb:

      Slightly off topic here, but it's 'Saes' (but pronounced 'sais'), which is short for Saesneg (similar to Sassenach), which simply means 'English' in Welsh. Just so you know.

        Me, cook a primative dish like Haggis? I think not, perhaps Chicken Chasseur on a bed of rice with a side dish of chips and garlic bread.:dbgrtmb:

        Oo err Mrs :D

        You ought to try it Dai, its really good. Not much Laver growing on the south coast but the fishmongers in Bridport sells it frozen.

        Otherwise I use the Japanese, Sushi Nori dried sheets, recon thats the same stuff.:thumbsup:

        Thirty five years ago a professional arboriculturist took down a large willow tree in our garden just leaving 10ft of trunk. He drilled holes and poured in whatever chemical was allowed in those days (they were stronger than they allow today).

        It continued sprouting and he came back three times over the next 18 months to put more chemical in the holes (no charge for this added work). It continued sprouting for the next 20 years :rolleyespink:

          DaveW, didn`t you say you are now using Pistol? Which is an industrial strength weedkiller. Clueless, the damage you describe can be caused by a tomcat marking his territory.:dbgrtmb::dbgrtmb:

          The Final Result of Glyphosate on Willow

          Here's the state of the willow on 10th August. Dead I think!
          It was given probably about 8 'refills' of Roundup and 2 of a weedkiller (Pistol) with a greater concentration of glyphosate.

            It's 250g/l glyphosate.

            Roundup Tree Stump killer sold over the counter to the public as a "domestic" product is 360g/l.
