Honey Locust pod control by INJECTION???? #853803
Asked October 23, 2023, 12:57 PM EDT
I and my neighbor enjoy the shade provided by an old honey locust tree; however, no one enjoys all those pods. The only solutions for eliminating them are the use of sprays which kill bees, are dangerous to children, or destroy metal. WHY hasn't anyone developed an injection that would eliminate all the hazards involved with using a spray?
