Andy,
I better send you this before I lose the list!
I did a test batch of evil plants, or, I should say, evil in the wrong place plants, plants that are trying hard to win their official 'weed' certification, cutting them as close to the ground as possible, and smearing a coat on the exposed cut surface.
A stand of 6 Tamarisk, and a group of Russian Olive, (5) this was done in June, late spring, and by end of October, right before the first freeze, there was no growth. These plants were by the Jordan river, (no not that one, Jesus never heard of this place) where they had plenty of water, I was told that one of these plants can take 200 gallons of water a day, so do the math, and see the effects in the arid west.
There were Honey Locust, (a tree) about 10 of these, about 7 Box Elder, and Some Siberian Elm, all of these were treated, mid summer, and they all seem to have decided to take permenent residence in that glorious garden in the sky. The wood seems dead, and I think that they all will just rot away. As Utah only gets about 28 CM of rain a year here, it may take longer than you are used to. This stuff is good on things that sucker. There was also a bush, with about 4 cm thorns, that bit the dust, also.
My friend, Gina, the garden lady, and a professonal gardener, also used C n' P, and she liked it enough to appropriate what was left, and will use it when she returns from Costa Rica.
