How can I kill trees using copper nails?

Answer by  nickyann (363)

Hammer copper nails into the trunk of the tree that you want to kill. You will want to use the large size nails as they need to penetrate the tree and use as many as possible. The nails will create an entry where infection and disease can begin. This process used can take awhile to kill the tree.
