Has anyone tried roundup on 1 or 2 year old popple along a trail, or around an oak tree?
I was wondering if it would set back growth for a year or two, but not kill the popple. Just trying to promote younger popple growth for a few years.

I sprayed my new growth popple this year with glyphosate, twice. It didn't touch it. I do think I jumped the gun with both these sprayings. I should have waited until it was warmer and they were growing more. It did do a number on that early grass though. I used a 2qt/acre rate along with dissolved spray grade AMS. I put two quarts of glyphosate, the same measurement of AMS (not sure what rate that really should be...) in my 25 gallon sprayer and filled her up. I sprayed that all on 1 acre.
I had to hit the new growth with Gordon's Brush Killer last time up. I think that'll do it. The next day the leaves were already drooping and the weekly satellite photo has Big North brown again. It's not 1-2 year old popple though.

Unless I show up to plant and it's all covered in woody brush again. If that's the case I'll hit it with the brush killer again and just plant WR. I'd probably mix a quart an acre of glyphosate in there too. |

Art, it’s late so I’m probably confused but, if you’re trying to promote young poplar growth why would you be spraying it? If you’re spraying other trees around it use a piece of cardboard in between it and the spray.
I may need to cut back or spray my young poplar growth heat spring because it’s outgrowing the oaks and chestnuts. Hopefully the deer use it for browse this ainter sk I won’t have to.

I just wondered if it would work to set back the young popple growth for a year or two along a roadway or in a limited area. Say you have a 5 acre or larger popple clear cut, setting back just a bit of the regrowth for diversity was my point. Partridge would benefit and also deer as the rest of the five acres matures. |

I like always having young aspen around. Therefore, I don't clear cut. I'll always leave some mature aspen around the edges of areas I'm opening up. That way, I can drop a few every winter and get more shoots popping up.
In a clear cut, I'd go with a billy goat to suppress some shoots and hopefully regenerate more.

Yeah I only cut 6 10” dbh trees and there’s hundreds if not thousands of shoots that have grown 6’ in 2 years. I’ll take the weed whacker with the saw blade to them next April before green up. |

That makes sense Art. The 6 trees I cut have provided a quarter acre of fresh browse but, they’re all the same height. |

My consulting forester replied to my question on popple regeneration.
He said that summer harvest always makes it harder for them to regenerate. Trembling aspen tends to regenerate better after a summer harvest, but most important is age of the popple stand. Over mature popple doesn’t regenerate well after a summer harvest.
This information may be of benefit depending on your goals. If you want to release an oak tree or a spruce, summer cutting of the popple may be better.
If you want to regenerate browse, winter cutting may be best.

I have a need to spray volunteer Poplar that is emerging in my prairie grass. Is there a chemical that will kill Poplar that won't kill grasses?

Crossbow/diesel applied basally should kill young aspens and not mess with your grasses too much. There is a chance of impacting other aspens in the general area when you treat young aspens. My understanding is that a single clone can have 10s of 1000s of suckers/shoots.

The last couple of years I have had allot of suckers show up, I need to get on top of them before they get out of hand. Thanks! |
