So you want to kill a tree under cover. Loads of copper spikes, and electricity. Use an acidic fertilizer for pine trees. Overwatering it daily on top of all this. At night under the cover of darkness hit it with a hatchet to girdle it. Or bore a hole halfway through the tree and plant an M-80 in it. Place a sign like die commie dork in crayons and light the fuse and run inside your house. They will think neighborhood kids assaulted your tree.One solution would be actually injecting Tordon into the tree, which needs to be repeated all around the tree’s perimeter rather than just the once. Another solution would be using an ax to make cuts all around the tree in a manner that the injured areas overlap. After which, interested individuals can either paint Tordon on the injured area or spray Tordon on the injured areas.

All you need to do is water the tree with water that has a very low PH balance. The high acidity will kill it. The best methods for killing a tree without felling it are to spray the base of the tree with Tordon, cut gashes in the tree trunk that are then filled with herbicide, removing a ring of bark around the tree, or drilling holes into the tree trunk before injecting them with herbicide. For trees less than 15 feet tall, you can spray the leaves with Roundup or similar herbicide, which will penetrate to the root and kill the tree. Stanley A. Greene (2005). Sittig's Handbook of Pesticides and Agricultural Chemicals. William Andrew. p.717. ISBN 978-0-8155-1903-4. You might have to dig more holes around the stump to make sure all the roots are destroyed before you can remove the tree stump. For small to medium-size trunks, about 4 holes would be enough. But for large stumps, it would take between 8 to 10 holes. However, let’s say you needed to kill your own tree without your kids or your tree-hugging neighbor knowing, then here are the best ways to kill a tree undetected. The Best Way To Kill A Tree Undetected FASTDrill several holes in roots under the soil and pore Tordon in it. Tordon is the best tree killer on the market. It’s what most arborists recommend for killing the hardiest trees. Unlike other chemical products in this category, Spectracide doesn’t have any odors. Even after it dissolves in the hot water, it doesn’t emit any odors or funky vapors. And since the method of application is both localized and contained, you won’t have to worry about other plants in the vicinity of the tree stump.

The copper nails have a corrosive effect on the roots of the tree stumps but they will not contaminate the soil nor impact other trees around the stump. That said, the nails take at least 3 months to kill the tree stump. It could take a little bit longer on larger stumps. Pros As mentioned earlier, Tordon is a herbicide meant for woody plants. Due to this, it is used whenever people want to remove either a tree or some other kind of woody plant, which can happen for a wide range of reasons. For example, trees can become invasive species in the same way as other living organisms. As such, they can pose a serious problem for native competitors, thus sending waves of disruption rippling throughout the ecosystem. Interestingly you’ll need to apply the same method of treatment with brushes and invasive plants. First, you’ll have to cut the brush, then cover the stumps and cut stalks with the VPG Fertilome. You won’t get good results from using Roundup in this way. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, is water-based and will evaporate rather than penetrate the bark. You may damage very young, thin-barked trees with Roundup in this way, but it’s unlikely you’ll kill the tree. For this method, Tordon is the best option. Cut Surface TreatmentOn the downside and as with handling most chemicals, caution is paramount when using the sprayer. You’ll also need to be extra careful if you have pets who might get in the line of the sprayer and get inadvertently sprayed. Pros These methods might require expertise, experience, and equipment that aren’t always available to interested individuals, which is one more reason to leave the use of said product to someone with absolute confidence in their knowledge that they know what they are doing. In fact, it is worth mentioning that Tordon isn’t recommended for either commercial or residential lawns, which should put things in perspective. Be Careful About Using This Close to Desired Trees
