I noticed that some of the albizia I killed came back to life after 2 years and they are probably more dangerous than ever because there is new growth coming from a half rotten standing tree. Frankentree. I imagine it will eventually die completely but the moral of the story is some trees will need follow-up treatments.
Milestone is also useful for killing a clump (or whatever they are called) of bananas. If you get the bunchy top virus you can poison the one with symptoms and the whole clump will turn black and melt away.
All that said, use the stuff judiciously and treat the poisoned plants as if they were hazmat, and keep it out of your compost: https://agdev.anr.udel.edu/weeklycropupdate/?p=649
ETA: The following is from the Milestone label:
* Do not use Milestone-treated plant residues, including hay or straw from treated areas, or manure from animals that have grazed forage or eaten hay harvested from treated areas within the previous 3 days, in compost or mulch that will be applied to areas where commercially grown mushrooms or susceptible broadleaf plants may be grown.
* Do not spread manure from animals that have grazed or consumed forage or eaten hay from treated areas within the previous 3 days on land used for growing susceptible broadleaf crops.
* Manure from animals that have grazed forage or eaten hay harvested from Milestone-treated areas within the previous 3 days may only be used on pasture grasses, grass grown for seed, and wheat.
* Do not plant a broadleaf crop in fields treated in the previous year with manure from animals that have grazed forage or eaten hay harvested from Milestone-treated areas until an adequately sensitive field bioassay is conducted to determine that the Milestone concentration in the soil is at level that is not injurious to the crop to be planted.
