Hi All - spent a few days hunting and am concerned with the amount of prickly ash in my understory(always thinking of the work ahead I guess). it is downright thick in my main section of timber. I mowed some paths the last two summers and I don't think that helped since they seemed to sucker. I have been reading a lot about timing of treatment via cut stump method(my ash I'd say is mostly under 1/2 " diameter with a few section of a bunch of 1-2 inchers) and I mostly read that doing the cut and treat of the stump method is best in late spring when there is the least amount of stored energy in the root system. I think I'll be ancy to start this work in the winter, but I don't want waste my time or cause more spring suckering. Do any of you have experience with winter cutting/treating prickly ash? What herbicide mixture worked (if any)? Thanks!
