nostr:npub1p3wdryc49wzrw7wwgavrudtq3rd8n5ja7yaw2z8m59gkjmayfvgqyedrgj no you can't cut down Ailanthus and poison the trunk; you'll just make it sucker and those roots are insane.You have to kill it while standing using Triclopyr in early fall as it pulls the sap down. If you don't kill the root system then it sends out 10x suckers. Fine if you're planning mechanical destruction all around it for 5+ years (mowing, for example), but in woodland you can't do that. Cutting it down before it's really 100% for sure dead just makes the problem worse.
