Albizia assassins

[terracore]

Milestone® is fast and final. I know that people whine about using poisons but I've never needed more than 3CC (less than two teaspoons) to kill an albizia (full disclosure, some need a followup treatment) and it's the only herbicide I know of that is labeled for use on pasture for grazing animals. While I understand that doesn't make it "safe", and there are plenty of articles out there that say that it isn't, one has to weigh the evils of using poison versus letting the albizia continue to destroy the ecosystem worse than several drops of Milestone ever can.

I think it was Lao Tzu who said, "Give an albizia some Milestone®, and it will kill the tree in a day. Plant an albizia, and the ecosystem will be destroyed for a lifetime."
