Will this kill a northeast cottonwood tree? I have had the tree cut down but keep getting sprouts.

The product comes with a very large listing (inside it's folding label) of trees etc that it will kill. I suggest you buy one and see how that works. I bought several as I had 35 Oleanders to kill. And it works great. Just beware to follow safety directions.

Quite possibly. I've used it to kill palmettos, which are not easy to kill. It did take several applications and about a year.

Can't say for sure but this is the best root killing product I have ever used.

I have trees about 30 yards from the pond that was treated. I am sure they get water from that pond however they are mature trees and where unaffected by this product. I would say if the tree is weak, sick or young it would probably kill the tree. It did kill any plants along the edge of the pond about 1 foot out from the water along with all the vegetation in the water. Hope this helps

I have been successful with this. I applied to suckers over a year ago and they have not come back. It is the only thing that has worked for me. I used it on a flowering pear tree. Now this year I have had new suckers start and again I just applied and they are dead.

I used it to kill ash saplings, some up to 3" in diameter, that were growing in the rows between pine/spruce/fir on my Christmas tree farm. I have not seen any damage to the Christmas trees.

I don't know if it will kill bamboo. I did read in the booklet that comes with the product it says if you paint round up pro full strength on some tree stumps it will kill them. don't know if this answer will help.

If the roots intertwine yes the junipers are going to die. I painted this on a 3-4" diameter poision Ivy vine that was cut about 2 feet above ground. A 100 foot tall cottonwood with a base diameter of 4 feet, had the poision ivy growing on the outside of the tree. No herbicide was splashed on the bark of the cottonwood. Yet the tree died within 6 months. Tordon warns you that unlike roundup this is not effected by dirt, It keeps going all the way down to the deepest root. Great product just know what you are doing when using it

By far the hardest trees I have had to kill are Brazilian Pepper trees. If you cut the tree stump about one foot from ground level (I like to leave the stumps tall enough so that I don't turn my ankle on them) and then pain the stump with UNDILUTED Glyphosel Pro, it will probably kill to the root the first time. On occasion, with trees that had diameters of one foot or more, the tree will try to sprout from the stump. In this case I simply spray the new green foliage and that does the trick. It also works on Mexican Petunias which are very hard to kill.

It pretty much kills anything although I have not tried it specifically On bamboo. It's worth a shot.

Should grow fine. I'm in Colorado (Denver metro area) and haven't had a problem getting it to sprout & grow, especially on the North side of my house which is always in shade and has more snow until later in the year than other areas. My biggest problem was the lawn service cutting it down to their "normal" low height last season. For that and other reasons, I'll be doing my own grass this year. ;>

Maybe if the roots are down deep enough to escape the poison. I tried to kill grass around some sedum plants. It didn't do anything to the grass, but almost killed the sedums.

I am certain that it will kill anything that bites into your leaves. Japanese beetles are a terrible problem here. They stripped my hybrid elm trees one year. Then I put this stuff down. It kills the beetles so fast that each beetle takes one little bite and then it dies right there still holding on to the leaf. You can get the same chemical much more cheaply on Amazon. Get Criterion 75WSP 6.4 ounces. It contains four smaller packets. The stuff dissolves immediately. I put one packet in a 3 gallon pail of water and pour it around my trees. They are more than 30 feet tall and it protects them completely. I am certain that it will kill anything that bites into your leaves. Japanese beetles are a terrible problem here.

I'm not sure about bamboo, but if you mix it heavy( about 4oz of mix to 1 gallon of water it will kill anything) it kills trees and under brush!

I checked with my husband and he said "yes it does inhibit new growth as well kill current suckers". I know this is the only product that works for us and it is far more expensive at the local nursery. Hope this is helpful to you.

Yes, I've read that it works, but ONLY on a LIVING, FRESHLY CUT stump. I remember reading someone else's post that, if you want to kill the stump, you need to apply this weed killer to the stump immediately after cutting the plant/bush/tree. If you wait too long, the plant forms a 'scab' (I don't remember the correct term) and then the weed killer will NO LONGER work. Depending on the size of the stump, you could apply the weed killer with a cotton swab, a foam brush or a bristle brush. You just have to apply it promptly! If the stump is still alive - and it hasn't 'scabbed over', yet - then the stump should suck the weed killer down to the roots, killing the stump.

I think there is quite a bit of technique in using the vinegar, including season and plant to control. I'm trying to get rid of a Very invasive vine. First one I tried it on, I dug down to the roots and poured in vinegar. A month later it was growing again (but it did set it back a bit). Then I tried a method I saw on the net - cut the end of the vine and immerse it in vinegar, letting the vine suck up the vinegar. That seems to kill that arm for sure but there are so many plants spread so far that that method is too labor intensive, so I'm going to be digging up about 200 sq ft this winter to get to the roots. So My advice is: research on the net to find the best method for your particular problem plant.

I've tried using it on a plum tree stump that keeps sprouting, the growth will die, but new shoots will sprout the next year. I've sprayed it for 3 years now. So to answer your question, no.
