This large tallow tree was girdled with a chain saw and herbicide was
sprayed into the cut. When a hatchet or machete is used instead of a
chainsaw, this method is often called “frill-and-girdle.”
Chinese tallow, like many invasive tree species, forms dense monocultures
that crowd out native species.
