Killing coppice

22/4/2018

 
Picture
Our Corymbia maculata- spotted gum - were high pruned to 6m and thinned last year (thanks Bob Hingston!) and it is now time to deal with the coppice.  We have 18 x 500m rows of trees and in the 2 northern most rows we will keep the coppice to maintain the privacy screening between us and our neighbours.  We have planted some Casuarina Cunninghamiana - sheoak - on the southern side and when it thickens up we can remove more stems.

For the rest of the area we will be using this mix in a 15 litre packspray:
  1. 150ml glyphosate +
  2. 1.5gm brushoff (metsulphuron-methyl) +
  3. 20ml Pulse (wetter)

We have to use a FAN nozzle not a cone nozzle and spray foliage to point of run-off with wand, spraying ‘inside’ the foliage ie total coverage.
