Re: Burning - woody control >> reply

<<   I believe I have seen posts to this list that suggest that if you are 
wanting to control
 woody vegetation, then fall may be best, since a fall burn would (hopefully)
 weaken the woody vegetation so it would not survive winter.  My area is 
Central
 ILLinois and I finished my burning this week....thanks 

>> My experience has been that late spring after bud crack seems to give the 
best woody plant control. The only other better time to get woody control is 
doing an active growing season drought burn.. but drought burns have another 
whole range of problems such as peat soil involvement and MASSIVE smoke 
issues.I also did my last burn for the spring season yesterday. (4/8/99)
