My Brother Bought Some Acres Of Rural Fields That Are Covered With Wild Sumac. What Is The Easiest Way To Clear Out The Sumac.

Question

The field of sumac is in northeast Alabama.

Answer 1

Sumac references often discuss its importance to wildlife rather than control. I did find one university extension publication on how to control smooth sumac. It probably would work for staghorn sumac as well. References also recommend consulting your local extension office for the best control in your area. I have included links to these resources.
