But I will go price the chemicals first, cutting it is no easy task because when you cut one stalk it does be hook up so to get it out is pressure.

Is it true that a green fig tree only bears once, then you have to cut it down?
Or is there a possibility that it will bear again sometime later?
my experience...one time it bears and daz it for the tree....the tree usually send out suckers doh
adnj wrote:If we're talking about the small bananas called figs; all banana trees bear once. Cut the stalk down to less than one foot high and dispose of it to prevent insect pests. You should get a new sucker soon after.
Let three or four suckers of different heights grow together so that you will get fruit more often.

what about a solution such as a chemical like a poison to throw next to the root?

Use glyphosate goes under many brands like glyphos,swiper, roundup include a sufactant e.g breakthru for efficacy.triclopr based herbicide will work also

How thick do I mix the gluphosate? and how much to use? you think Half Gallon could do it? in maybe 2 bucket of water?
because the other chemical the other guy said to use the garden shop here said its no longer being sold.
If I poison it will be better than paying the village crackhead to cut it with a cutlass. Cause the poison will kill it permanent.

You will never ever get rid of it without cutting it down first. You should be able to take down a 20 stalk bunch with a manual pruning saw (not a bow saw) in two hours. The saw is faster than a cutlass and you can use it to prune your fruit trees later. A saw will cost $60 - $150.
After you cut down the bamboo, use concentrated glyphosate and paint the top of the stump left behind. You'll use about 16 ounces to treat the stumps. Painting the stump helps to prevent you from wasting the glyphosate.
Spray the sprouts that come back with a 2-times-maximum solution of glyphosate. Maximum is about 2 ounces (60 ml) per gallon of spray depending upon the brand, so use about 4 ounces per gallon. Don't bother spraying until you see new, green sprouts.
A half gallon of Roundup should be fine for what you want to do and still have some left over. Don't bother pouring glyphosate on the roots; it deactivates when it comes into contact with soil.

A sharp cutlass with good follow thru technique can cut even thick sections with a lash on either side
Dry bamboo is dangerous to chop
Can bounce off easily

I'm looking for a triclopyr herbicide but would rather not have to call every agricultural shop in the directory.
Does anyone know of a store that has any available for sale?
