I've got a 44 acre block of land that is almost solid tallow trees. Most of the trees are 2-3" diameter,6-8' tall, and dense to the point it's hard to walk through.

What's the best way to go about removing them?

I've thought about running a batwing and shredding the field, then coming back after the new growth with an herbicide.

It's so dense in there, that I don't think a spot treatment herbicide will work.   However, I have another 60 acres next door that has random tallows, and I'd like to spot treat that pasture.


Any recommendations on technique or chemicals used?


Our neighbor just had the same problem. He brush hogged it and then turned the ground with a moore boy plow.

As far as chemicals that work, my father n law works for the drainage district and they use grazon mixed with remedy and it works well.
