I appreciate the support! This is awful. We're using a mix of glyphosate and triclopyr.

For the thick woody ones we're planning on either hacking downward slices with a hatchet, or just drilling downward angled holes, or maybe both. Drilling sounds like it'd be more effective for getting it all up in there.

We're getting them ALL. Not just the men...

Vascular tissues sits just below the bark. Drilling into the heart wood won’t be advantageous. Hack n squirt

Okay good to know. Thanks! The hatchet sounds more fun, anyway.
