I know someone who used several tubs of sodium chlorate that was mixed to
a
very high concentration (ie just enought water to dissolve the stuff) and
was able to kill his neighbours conifers without damaging his own copper
beech trees that stood a few feet away. You need the ground soil to be
damp,
make some holes around the conifer's trunk using 15mm copper and then pour
in the mixture.

That's a surprise, thanks for the info.

BTW, was it a feud or a favour?

Feud.

Ah, best not to know the full story I'm sure

It took a couple of months for the trees to turn start turning brown. They
conifers were finally dead in six months.

Useful info again, ta
