Removing Bald Cypress for Construction

Effective Kill-and-Remove Method

1. Cut trees and knees (pneumatophores) flush.
2. Immediately paint cut surfaces with undiluted Roundup (glyphosate) using a cheap brush.
3. Wait one week for translocation to roots.
4. Grind stumps below grade or excavate during foundation work.

Alternative: Girdle trunk with a 2-inch bark cut, apply Roundup in cuts, wait for death, then remove.
