Thank you for the great explanation.

Nah. It can grow 100 feet

Aquatic approved glyphosate?!?! Lol MERCY. The modern institutional mainstream ways never fail to be abso-lutely backwards. Knotweed pickles are *the* best <3 Not to mention critical medicine for those suffering from Lymes.

The smell of the male flowers in spring is TERRIBLE.

Hi I need help to get rid of tree of heaven I’m in Greenville Michigan zip 48838 I need to hire someone to get rid of them as I’m 80 and can’t do it myself . Please help they are spreading all over .

I have five of these trees in my yard. They are terrorists. It is non-stop cleaning up after them. First they flower and those make a mess for a month. Then the seeds form. Those fall randomly throughout the year. They never fall all at once. Then, the seedling and sprouts start. Unfortunately all my neighbors are rentals and they do not maintain their yards, so they are growing everywhere and will soon take over our neighborhood.

I can’t believe you think Glyphosate is an option that is water safe. Ridiculous

i like this tree, it looks like a palm tree

Killing a tree is wrong. The tree of heaven gives home to creatures. Humans and money…it something produces no immediate money to humans, humans kill it. Despicable

Tryclopyr at 30% or higher is the most effective herbicide that I have found. I never consider these dead until I don't get suckers growing in subsequent years. You have to be in for a long haul to kill groves of Tree of Heaven.

I read they have great medicinal value!!

THAT BIG ONES IS NOT TREE OF HEAVEN . IT IS A NATIVE OAK!!!

I got one two yards down that must be 6 stories tall. My other, immediate neighbor let one get started from a seed from that tree. She finally let me cut it down and poison the stump in the fall. I let the inevitable suckers grow until they were a foot or so, then cut and poisoned all of them too. It did the job. Early fall is the best time because all the energy is getting sucked back into the roots. I hate using poison for anything, but it is a necessary in this case.

"cluck old hen, cluck and squall, you ain't laid an egg since way last fall..." tree of heaven, also known as stinkweed, can get much taller than thirty feet. if you saw into it on a sweaty day, the sawdust can give you a nasty poison ivy-like rash... which i am now uncomfortably dealing with.

I see Alot of them in urban areas. Around abandoned building and vacant lots.

Do you have to mix the herbicide with diesel or other oil? What are the dangers of broadcast spraying for seedlings? I mulch my gardens with leaves & collect hundreds of bags locally; as well as wood chips from my municipality. Year before last I must have gotten loads full of seeds. The seedlings look like grass. I thinned what I could but some are already staying put. I burned what I could to kill any other seeds but know I need to spray to get a handle on the issue. I am willing to kill everything to eliminate the TOH, but can't find literature on how long to abandon the site. Do I tarp or solarize? Mother nature covers herself so...I need a plan. If I don't, other invasives will just take its place. And the vicious cycle continues. Thanks

What's the name of the herbicide that should be used?

Growing up I always called it skunk weed

Why kill that massive tree??! Kill the small ones but that massive one? Come on...

There are a couple variants in this family. The asians seem to have found beneficial uses : medicine from the bark, moths make Ahimsa or Peace silk from leaves, gum from sap, cheap wood products, dead leaves leave fertile soil.

I want it if it can survive in the desert!

this is most good looking tree should I don't grow one or two tree only ???

I eat it . Love it. Some of the best Fishing Creeks are Full of Knotweed and Fish and Crawfish etc. Stop spraying, Foolish. Been Indoctrinated

Lived and moved from a house that had just 1 large tree of heaven. It was never ending trying to keep up with hacking down all of the suckers. After any good rain there were dozens, and if left unsnipped they would grow to 3 feet in a month or 2. I hate this tree and all the invasives like it. So many invasive plants are truly scary when first learning and witnessing the shear destruction and cost they inflict. Really sad.

We have two of these trees in my backyard, one is about twelve feet tall, the other just a baby. The big tree will have to go because we are replacing a sewer line and it's right above it. The baby we are going to transplant. I think they are beautiful trees and are incredibly hardy.

Science, Japanese knotweed is the most concentrated source of resveratol we've ever found! East Asians, it's a perennial vegetable and good medicine. Westerners, it's evil the only good knotweed is dead knotweed (mindless shrieking). If only there was some way we could learn from other cultures.

When I was growing up on a farm in Virginia we called those things schumach trees we had a Grove of them in what corner of the field of cows use to lay under them

Da Leafs are a terrible hockey team from Toronto, Leaves are what we are concerned with here!

It’s hard to convey how absolutely horrible this tree is and detrimental to our ecosystems here in the US

Chinese médecin use the root and stern.

I have come close to eradicating it on my property by eating it. Stir fried at a high temperature, the strong taste gets cooked away. (Use peanut oil and add some 5-spice.) Finely chopped, small amounts can be stirred into soups and stews without affecting the taste of the dish.

From China with love

This is an EXECLLENT presentation EXCEPT you missed the most important thing against this awful plant (at least to environmentalists like me!) and that is it feeds no one, no caterpillars, and thus no animals. It further smothers out natives that would contribute to a healthy ecosystem (you did mention this regarding those chemicals that inhibit other growth). Thank you for this great info and thanks TH-cam for keeping this info out there.

Hammer a few copper coins or copper nails into the trunk. It will die ..traditionally we use a circle of pennies around the trunk and sprinkle salt on the roots. It kills sumac trees quickly

Thanks for this excellent advice! Much appreciated…

I wonder if you can graft onto the tree something else like a branch from a cherry tree since that tree of heaven cant be killed so easy would it think the cherry tree is part of it and provided all nutrients to it

I thought they kinda smelled like Fritos chips.

The Tree of Heaven , is an over grown weed !

So u killed it ,humans are the envacive clay sheep 🐑 people

These things are real bastards. I'll have to try this this summer, they have been taking over a section of my property for decades

Killing food so people can't eat wild. Trees leaves taste like BACON. Eat it!!!!

so how do they keep these things under wraps in their native lands?

so it's a fucker.

Thank you so much for the video! ❤️🤩As a kid growing up I thought I knew everything there was to know about Stinky Trees except for their proper name: Tree of Heaven. I have memories of my sister and I having to come in and wash up because we would play among these smelly trees The rancid smell remind us of yesteryear. They were our stallions when we played cowboys, our swords and daggers when we were in a fight. (Lol against the neighbor boys) They are great for mud pie making and mud soup recipes. (yes real mud! We are talking kid days here 😊) If your younger brother ever needed a boost of self esteem, you can always tell him use his super strength to pull a young tree out of the ground. 🦸 Usually they come up really easy you can almost pull them out with one hand depending on the size. It feels so satisfying.👍 Our cousins used taller sticks as poles for a teepee. In more practical uses we roasted marshmallows, and they were a source of fire wood. We have had those trees around our house forever... until a drought came and killed some massive trees that were over 30 years old (also just about every other tree on the property...!) The dead trees provided fire wood and kindling that we used for 2 winters. It has been at least 2 years since the drought and doesn't look like the trees will recover. Kinda sad 😔 I had no idea they were such a problem! 😱 But I can see why others would not have such fond memories of them as we do. It is good to FINALLY know what this plant/tree is called!!!

It reassemble marijuana and hemp look at the leaves

I'll Never understand why some invasive species are still allowed to be sold anywhere here when it takes over the landscapes and hurts other species in the process. But you will see people selling chinese privet and it's invasive and a problem here Need to ban these species here

No wonder it went nuts where i cut down a row of them! I'll try that method you suggest for sure.

I dont understand, but why murder of that one Giant Tall Tree Of Heaven., It's in the jungle minding it own business..."Here Comes" Evil KILLING HUMAN....Why?????

Excellent, informative video. Thank you so much.

I hear Tordon works really well.
