Hello:
Just curious about something....I just moved out to the Scurry (south of Kaufman, TX area) onto a long narrow 7 acres. I have a few things in mind for this lot, but none of them include the rather large collection of mesquite trees I have right in the middle of it. What is the most effective way to remove these? notsuh |

Hello notsuh,
I'm not sure either.
List a few of the things you have in mind. I'd have to remove any of the Mesquite trees if they are of any size.
I might suggest you make several posts on this subject in the TREE and/or Ranch forums but be a bit more specific. |

There are a few mature Mesquites out there, but mostly they're small bushy little annoyances with a lot of thorns. Thinking of finding out what vinegar will do. A neighbor said to try salt buried at the root. Then there's the expensive last resort: bulldozer. I'll post the results when I get around to trying them.

notsuh,
Latest idea proposed is a 50/50 mix of diesel and liguid molasses.
Diesel kills and the molasses (microbes) removes the diesel fuel.
Drill holes in stump and pour mixture on stump area. |

Cool, kinda like the petroleum eating bacteria used to help control oil spills on the ocean? I have a neighbor with the same dilemma; I'll pass that Idea along as well.
Thanks
