Treating Stumps with Tordon RTU: Four Months Later

We used Tordon RTU to treat several stumps around the house and in our fence rows and the results are conclusive: this stuff works! When attempting to remove trees from problem areas it is important to prevent stump-sprouting and Tordon RTU is a very effective herbicide when applied properly.

Our pasture fence rows were neglected for years and now we have a serious problem with trees and brush growing through them. Back in February 2021 I applied Tordon RTU on a few of trees and shrubs nearest to the house; I wanted to try it out and make sure I knew what I was doing before I spent hours on the real problems around the farm. Four months later we have no stump-sprouting on the treated stumps.

It’s important to apply Tordon RTU immediately after felling the undesired tree. After about 30 minutes the tree stump begins to scab over in an attempt to heal itself and if the herbicide is applied after that time window it is not as effective.

Be mindful of desirable trees and shrubs in the immediate vicinity because Tordon RTU can affect the roots of nearby plants. Read the label for a complete list of plant species that a particular herbicide is effective against. Please take all necessary safety precautions to protect yourself as herbicides can be pretty nasty.

That video I posted in February is our most watched video to date. I never expected it would take off the way that it did but I’m thankful so many people decided to watch this country boy work to improve his farm a little. I hope to have many more videos in the coming weeks, months, and years documenting what we’ve done around the homestead. I hope you’ll come along on the journey.
