Rubber tree poisoning/removal

[eigoya]

Tada, what do you mean by, "poisoning the top?" I put slashes and millstone in a section of tree last week, nothing. I drilled into two "trunks" yesterday with more millstone. So much sap comes out, I don't know how this will work.

I used new stuff.

@eigoya now that you mentioned it, I think I did drill holes down into the trunk and sprayed into them every 3-4 inches. The sap floats on top of the Milestone when the holes are drilled downwards.

Yes, good points. I'll keep going

"Poisoning the top" is the advice proffered by the others who are more expert than me. I'm saying besides that you also need to sever the side roots running out horizontally from the main root. My theory is it so hard to kill because it's connected to other trees in the area by network of roots.
