How to kill camphor laurel
Treatment will depend on the size of the plant. For smaller plants less than 3 m in height, foliar spray using Grazon Extra is recommended. For plants up to 6 m in height, basal bark or cut stump treatment using Access®Herbicide is recommended and for those over 6 m, stem injection with Tordon RegrowthMaster is recommended.
