FishinCricket Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Is there an UNDECTABLE way to KILL a small tree with a trunk about 3" diameter ? Inject something with a hypo? Dont ask, I can't tell ya ! I'm still just trying to figure out what that word is...... cricket.c21.com
Trout Commander Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 I'm still just trying to figure out what that word is...... un-dect-a-bly –verb (used with object) 1. Shorthand used on Ozark Anglers to be accepted for usage as undetectable. See undetectable. I have spent most of my money on fly fishing and beer. The rest I just wasted.

Members ozarkstripers.com Posted February 25, 2011 Members Posted February 25, 2011 how undetectable does it need to be????? Is anyone going to be doing tissue samples??? Yes we actually send trees in for testing when a neighbor believes someone has murdered their tree. If there is no worries of tissue samples then the above methods will work, however, if enough fuss has been made that someone may suspect you killed their tree and make problems for you then you need to be a little sneakier about it. Depending on the species, and location you could infect it with a biological parasite easily found in the area ie, bagworms, scale, etc...or next time there is a severe thunderstorm in your neck of the woods break it just above the ground like it was wind damaged or drop a large limb on it, or if it is in a location where no one else is going to notice it for awhile like in the set back area take a piece of galvanized wire and twist it around the base of the trunk close to the ground. It may take over a year for the tree to die but the bark will grow over the tree hiding the wire and the wire will eventually choke the tree off. Also depending on the species most trees will die from being buried too deep, add 8 inches of top soil around the trunk and the bark will rot off. If the tree is a pine or other "dry" tree just over water it.
Trav Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Chop it down and be done with it. If asked about it...deny deny deny. Haha....I am curious to the story behind this evil tree.... "May success follow your every cast." - Trav P. Johnson
Midwest troutbum Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Watch using tordon, as you can end up killing any other tree, or desirable trees that may have interconnected or grafted roots. "In golf as in life it is the follow through that makes the difference."-unknown

fishinwrench Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Wow! How did I miss this? Is the mark in question is still standing ?
rps Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Funny thread. I suggest a chain saw accident. "Honest officer. I was just trimming some brush when I tripped. Before I knew it, there was no way to save the tree."
Billfo Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 I was lucky. The tree took a lightning strike, burned it & busted it off about 3' from the ground. Problem solved. My lakeview was improved by Mother Nature.. Email me Red-Right-Returning is for quitters !
