Would anyone here have any ideas on how to handle a Stinktree infestation? Normally, I wouldn't want to remove volunteer trees. But these things took over a slope where I had intended to plant the blueberries while I was trying to recover from the stock market crash, and not only are they invasive suckering pests that smell bad, but apparently that smell is a natural herbicide that kills anything trying to grow under or around them. Seems to me that the shredded wood ought to carry a premium as mulch for suburbanites in hock to Monsanto, but my research indicates that chopping 'em down just keeps them coming, and coming . . .
