killing cotton wood trees


Question
i have 5 cotton wood trees in my woods.i dont want there fire wood from them. is there a way to drill a hole in the side of them and pour something in it that will kill them?

Answer
The simpliest way to kill them is to take an axe and cut all the way around the trunk of the trees making sure you leave no space between cuts. This will girdle the tree trunk and kill the tree. If you want to speed this process up spray the herbicide Roundup into the cuts and the tree will take the Roundup into its system and kill the tree and the tree roots.
