Eliminating Unwanted Black Walnut Seedlings

Effective Herbicide Application for Volunteer Trees

Black walnut seedlings from squirrel-planted nuts invade gardens and foundations. Pulling fails due to deep taproots; cutting causes resprouting. Solution: wipe or spray glyphosate (Roundup) on foliage. Use a gloved hand and rag for precise application near desirable plants. The herbicide translocates to roots, killing the entire seedling.
