A variety of effective chemicals are available for Honey Locust treatment. Type used depends on your particular situation. Since chemical names and formulations seem to change yearly, it's best to check the chemical labels to make sure of application times and methods. Here are links to a couple of OSU Extension publications that give some good information on chemicals to control Honey Locust.<br /><br />http://ohioline.osu.edu/for-fact/pdf/0045.pdf http://ohioline.osu.edu/for-fact/pdf/0051.pdfSteve Willsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098584432333519732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6629602865933201771.post-64458635140118211722012-03-20T17:06:58.163-04:002012-03-20T17:06:58.163-04:00Steve,
