Covertly Killing a Eucalyptus Tree Overhanging a Pool

Discreet Herbicide Application for Nuisance Eucalyptus

To kill a eucalyptus discreetly: cut through the bark into the wood around the entire trunk at ground level (frill cut). Immediately apply glyphosate into the cuts. The tree absorbs it and dies. Cuts are hidden at the base. Avoid herbicide contact with grass or pool. Note: Killing a tree on a golf course may have legal/liability implications; consult property management first.
