Buckthorn Control
Buckthorn and many other invasive woody species have been infiltrating our native ecosystems for decades. These exotic species have been introduced into Minnesota by humans and continually encouraged by our disruption of natural ecosystem's cycles and development. However, through specialized Land Management techniques and methods, these species can be eventually eliminated, allowing our native plant species to flourish as they once did. MNL has a land management crew well versed in dealing with such invasive species as Common Buckthorn, Glossy Buckthorn, Mulberry, Honeysuckle, Boxelder, Elm, Hybrid Poplar, Sumac and Prickly Ash throughout the dormant and growing seasons. Though not all are introduced, exotic species, these and many other often undesirable trees and shrubs can easily become an unwelcome nuisance on your native ecosystem.

Equipment: A variety of tools can be used throughout the year for successful invasive woody-species elimination. |

Reproductive suppression: Woody species are best dealt with by first eliminating the plant’s ability to produce seed. |

|
|
Elimination: As most invasive specie will re-sprout vigorously after cutting, the appropriate herbicide properly applied (variant on the type of suppression desired as well as the season), will prove fatal to the root system of the targeted plant. |
