Default Re: Anti Topping Campaign

Growth retardants, hormone based.

Personally I'd say it doesn't work very well, or we'd see bugger all cutting crews and a bunch of people with sprayers.

The HV lines out bush would be aerial sprayed like crops ... but I doubt it works.

I was at a customers place when she told me they did a trial on a row of trees in front of her house under the power wires ... no difference to other trees. It might work a little and for a while.

However I could be wrong and the chemical companies have it figured, any info on it with trials and results would be good.
