    What Can I Use To Kill Medium Sized Cypress Trees Quickly? (Complete Name And Example Of A Product Or Home Remedy?)

    Previous owner planted cypress trees that block lake view... About 2 years ago. I have pets and children and would love a way to kill other than cutting down and digging up. (single mom) I read Round Up somewhere but don't know which type, I'm only familiar with weed and grass killer. Also, how long will it take to die. I think it will be easier to remove then... Thank you

    Are you sure you can't just limb it up?? 

    You'd need to drill several serious holes, several feet deep and pack them with herbicide in order to poison it... And that would poison everything around it for years to come. 

    Just cut a ring of bark all the way around the tree at least 6" wide.. Make sure you clean off all the bark tissue down to the hard wood... It'll take a couple of months.. But the tree will die.  keep an eye on it every few weeks to make sure the tree isn't trying to heal the gap.. If it is just scrap it back again.. This will prevent to roots from feeding the tree and it will die.
