Our rule of thumb is to kill every gum tree we can without exception.

I have quite a few gums on my place, young and old. Can I simply cut a notch in the trunk and let it die. Is that what hinging is?

You can hit smaller ones with a machete or hatchet and then spray the cut with triclopyr. That will kill it.

Bigger ones will take more than one cut and spray.

You can also spray the foliage with triclopyr and it will kill it.
