maybe i can just stop mowing my lawn and live in a forest in about 3 years. Plenty of firewood. It would be crappy firewood, but i'd never run out...
No matter how you look at it, get it out. Roots and all. If that is a sumac (non-poisonous) or Ailunthus, you don't want it there. If you wait too long, at the rate that thing is growing, you'll never get it all.
You are making me itchy.I just passed an abandoned lot down on the other side of town, its LOADED with sumac.......all the leaves are flourescent orange/bright yellow. I'll take a picture of it later this evening.....
Wait till I post the pictures of it later!You are making me itchy.
Or an apple, peach, or pear tree infestation?! Why is it we always end up with a surplus of useless crap?!why can't I have a sugar maple infestation?
It'd be 40 years til you would reap the benefits, Danno. This way, with a sumac or whatever it is, it'll be 40ft tall in three years!why can't I have a sugar maple infestation?
i'm calmed down a little on the idea that it's poison sumac because it doesn't look like it grows around here and we are in a drought anyway.
generally speaking it shouldn't be hard to rid the flower garden of it if she just takes care of it like she should, but this summer was just insanely hot, busy, and dry, so she let it go.
drought up until last weekend when we got about 2.5-3" all at once!Drought? Danno, didn't you just have a big rain there?
