RICHGRO's Tree, Blackberry & Woody Weed Killer is effective in controlling blackberry, Eucalyptus, Wattle, and many other woody weeds in home gardens, parks, golf courses, factories, and similar settings.
Active Ingredient
60g/L Triclopyr present as Butoxy Ethanol Ester
How to Use
For use on Blackberry, mix 200ml per 12 litres of water. Spray leaves and stems thoroughly. Use late spring to early autumn when bushes are growing actively. One application is satisfactory, but subsequent regrowth and seedlings should be sprayed later after they have hardened off.
For use on Woody Weeds including Eucalyptus, Wattle seedlings and suckers, Groundsel bush and Australian blackhorn, mix 200ml per 1.1 litres of kerosene or diesoline. For plants with a base diameter of up to 5cm, spray or paint the stems from ground level to a height of 30cm. Drilling 2cm holes or axe-wounding trees or stumps helps penetration. Wet well and evenly around each stem.
Precautions
Not to be used for any other purpose or in any manner contrary to the label unless authorised.
TAS only: DO NOT spray bushes carrying mature/near mature fruit. In Tasmania, the best results can be expected in autumn, after the fruit has fallen.
DO NOT allow spray to contact or drift onto other plants you do not want killed.
Poisonous if swallowed. Read safety directions on the label before use.
Frequently Asked Questions:
It doesn’t mix well with kerosene. Can a wetting agent be added?
Kerosene is not meant to dissolve the weed killer, but rather to turn it into an emulsion, which in turn will assist with application. This emulsion will enable the user to paint the stem and retain the weedkiller chemical longer on the plant's stem.
To get rid of vigorous wisteria, is it better to mix the product with kerosene or water?
Either will kill the plant. Using kerosene or diesel will have a quicker effect.
The instructions specify that for Blackberry, mix 200ml/12L of water, and for Woody Weeds, mix 200ml/1.1L of Kerosene or diesel. Is this correct?
Woody weeds are harder to kill; therefore, a stronger mix is required.
