RE: Box elder problem
If you are going to apply to the stump and are using round-up or glyphosate mix it 50/50 with water. I used that mixture for a conservation practice and it worked on stumps that were one foot and larger in diameter. Also, it works best if the stump is sprayed within 30 minutes of cutting it. As the stump starts to dry it will be less effective. Don't forget that parent tree!
