The Russian olive trees are cut with Marshall Saws, Dougherty Saws and hydraulic shears as well as hand operated chain saws when necessary. The mechanical mechanisms are mounted with an herbicide supply tank and spray nozzle attachment, allowing operator to immediately spray the freshly cut tree.
Chemical must be applied to the cut area within 15 minutes or the tree will seal the stump and not allow the herbicide to penetrate into the root system.
