Product Overview

Tordon RTU herbicide is a ready-to-use product that is effective in cut surface applications for killing unwanted trees and preventing undesirable sprouting of cut trees in forest and other non-crop areas such as fence rows, roadsides and rights-of-way.

  • Effective: Kills cut stumps on fence lines&non-cropland areas. Control unwanted trees by cut surface treatments in forest&non-crop areas such as fence rows, roadsides&rights-of-way
  • Superior Results: Keeps more than 20 woody species at bay. It translocates into the tree’s root system to stop resprouts
  • Easy-to-use: No-freeze formulation keeps the product flowing freely. The blue dye in lets you easily keep track of treated stumps
  • Instruction: No mixing or measuring is required, and you can use it nearly year-round. Just pour it into the convenient squirt bottle applicator, and go to work
  • Ideal for in-season and off-season brush control

Works

I have used many other products for stump removal but this one works better than anything else. Might have to apply a couple of times.

Excellent company to do business along with the Tordon products that do the job
Death to stumps!
By William M. on July 7, 2022
I love this product! It smells strong on the stump, even after a heavy rain. But after several weeks, there is no regrowth whatsoever on the stump, and the smell goes away. What more can I say?

Frequently Asked Questions

I have roots getting into my laterals off my septic. Instead of digging, can I add this to my septic tank to help control the root growth?

You cannot add Tordon to your septic to control root growth. Tordon will kill the roots and the trees associated with the intrusion. It may also kill other trees in the area through soil migration.

I use this 3 feet from a Palm tree I want to keep, will it kill that palm tree as well?or just the pepper tree I pour it on?

Because Tordon (Picloram) is a soil mobile chemical, Picloram may also “leak” out of the roots of treated plants, and be taken up by nearby, desirable species.
When a desirable plant is nearby, we always suggest to NOT use Tordon as a treatment method.

The following excerpt for Peppertree control is from the University of Florida Extension Service at : https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/AA219

“Chemical Control
Using Herbicides

Herbicides that aid in the control of Brazilian peppertrees are available (Table 1). Only herbicides recommended for Brazilian peppertree control should be used. Read the label carefully and follow the instructions; it is illegal to use an herbicide in a manner inconsistent with the label’s instructions. For more information on the individual plant treatments listed below, see EDIS publication SS-AGR-260, Herbicide Application Techniques for Woody Plant Control (https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ag245).

Cut Stump Application

Cutting down Brazilian peppertrees and treating the tops of the stumps with herbicide comprise one method of control. A saw should be used to cut the trunk as close to the ground as possible. Within five minutes, an herbicide containing the active ingredient glyphosate or triclopyr should be applied carefully to the thin layer of living tissue, called the cambium, which is just inside the bark of the stump.

The best time to cut Brazilian peppertrees is when they are not fruiting. Seeds in the fruits can produce new Brazilian peppertrees. If fruiting Brazilian peppertrees are cut, care should be taken not to spread the fruits to locations where they might become established.

Caution: Brazilian peppertree produces a sap that may result in contact dermatitis in some people. When cutting trees, avoid the sap if possible. Individuals who are highly sensitive to the sap may also be affected by touching the leaves. Use proper protective gear when cutting the tree and applying the herbicides.
Basal Bark Herbicide Application

Brazilian peppertrees can be controlled using basal bark herbicide application. In this method, an application of an oil-soluble herbicide product such as triclopyr ester is applied in an oil carrier to the lower part of the trunk in a 12- to 18-inch band around the circumference of the tree. It may take several weeks before the herbicide’s effects become apparent. Complete defoliation, a lack of new shoots, and the presence of termites are indicators that the treatment has been successful.

Basal bark treatments are most effective in the fall when Brazilian peppertrees are flowering due to the high level of translocation occurring within the trees. Fruiting occurs during winter, and Brazilian peppertrees that have been treated using a basal bark application may retain their fruit. The herbicide will move downward to the roots with the sap flow. In this situation, the area will need to be checked for seedlings on a regular basis.
Foliar Herbicide Application

Foliar herbicide application can be used on Brazilian peppertree seedlings and saplings. An herbicide containing triclopyr or glyphosate is applied directly to the foliage. Spray to wet, but not to the point of runoff. Good coverage is essential. Although both herbicides translocate throughout the plant, coverage on only one side of a tree with glyphosate or triclopyr will not completely kill it. Keep in mind that foliar applications require considerably more herbicide to control Brazilian peppertree. Take precautions to prevent herbicide drift injury to nearby plants.”
