The glyphosate saga ended well. One of the neighbours asked what I
had done in the garden. I said I had just put down some basic
weedkiller to make a start on tackling the weeds. Another neighbour
said she did not know that had happened to the vegetation in the
garden - it must have been the drought (not noticing that all other
gardens were unaffected).

Thanks for the reminder.

Just had a have a look at the tree that I gave a good dosing of
glyphosate about 8 weeks ago.

All the leaves are drooping and it does not look happy.

My sister-in-law says it needs some rain or watering in to ensure it
gets absorbed by the roots. May be wrong of course.

It got a 20mm hole drilled into the trunk and the glyphosphate poured
into the hole. The rain seems to have done its job.

Glyphosate is not absorbed by the roots

It needs the plant to be growing so there's a good circulation of
sap. I applied some in the dry weather, and hasn't worked anywhere
near as effectively as it would if there was enough water around
for the plants to be actually growing. It might still operate if
we get rain. It doesn't work by watering in to the soil - soil
deactivates it. It needs to be absorbed by the plant above ground,
and carried to the roots in the sap. Most preparations have
detergents in them so it is absorbed through the leaves.

Glyphosate is not absorbed by the roots

Thanks. I should probably have said 'transported through the plant'.

It'll be absorbed through the leaves initially. Most plants absorb some
moisture through the leaves too I expect, so possible a bit of water on
teh leaves once the stuff has gone in, may help.

Thanks. That's clearer.

I was told you needed to cut the bark off a tree anout 5 inches or so all aroundas most of the nutrients flow through the bark to the leaves removing the bark kills the tree but only slowly. That way you don't need chemicals.

Or use dynamite as Clarkson once did on Comic Relief.
