Hack and Squirt - Winter?

[BoneCrusher20]

Can you still hack and squirt trees in December and be effective? I'm in WI so not a ton of 30+ degree days. January-March are pretty much out and then all sudden spring projects take over, so would be nice to do this in December if can still get results from it.

You can. The following link is a good one on hack and squirt. It has some warnings about avoiding times when sap is flowing and what to do relative to freezing temps.

Yeppers! I mix with diesel as a sticking agent. Works wonderfully.

1/3 triclopyr & 2/3 diesel fuel mixture. If the saplings are smooth barked and 4" or less you don't even have to hack them, just do a basal bark treatment all the way around, from the ground to 12" high.
