Stump spraying with tordon is what I did. Worst thing I could of done.
Failed or Ineffective Practices
Tordon RTU (picloram) is a premixed general use herbicide labeled for cut-surface applications only. This herbicide kills treated black locust stems, but vigorous sprouts develop from roots.

Tordon RTU has high soil mobility and persistence, and is no longer labeled for use on sandy soils.
Girdling kills the black locust stem that is girdled, but it does not prevent the formation of suckers.
Mowing areas around mature trees where seed pods have dropped seems to promote seed germination.
Fire kills the main stems but prolific sprouting results.
