Prevention and Control
Methods advocated in Canada for Lombardy poplar control by the Canadian Botanical Conservation Network (2015) include (1) girdling the tree to remove bark and phloem layer from a 10 cm band around the trunk and (2) cutting stems and applying herbicide, but this does not always eliminate suckering. Monitoring and retreatment of sites is always necessary. In Michigan’s dune system, cutting down trees with chainsaws and pruning the new growth resulted in aggressive growth and the spread of suckers and had to be supplemented with judicious use of herbicides (O’Connell and Stephens, 2002; US Fish and Wildlife Service, 2006a).
