The state should 110% buy into this. They could offer some sort of assistance and support to landowners to get this going. This is HUGE! If folks don’t think these cedars are a problem get on google earth and watch surface water levels deplete as the cedar population and growth booms. Great job Jason.
By golly Jason, you have come up with a clear winning product as well as multiple delivery systems! Just goes to show what can be accomplished by a dedicated work ethic. And you have created a highly efficient delivery system when air born. Hard to imagine that you succeeded in keeping this all so secret. Congratulations indeed! Hope there are a variety of videos showing the different application procedures, with some follow up reporting post delivery. You have a winner! -Bob...
Jason What in your opinion is best practice to do with these dead cedar trees after? Just trying to think of this long term, In my very short knowledge of land in Austin Area affected by the thick cedar trees is the soil is so acidic because of the cedar needles falling under these trees for so many years and they have pulled so much of water sources away that hardly any grasses grow very well in these thick groves of cedar trees. So one of my worries is treating a heavily infested area and if the trees just stay dead standing timber to say with no cover to them any longer because they are dead. could this cause sever run off in heavy storms and even more erosion to occur? helped buddies with land management in this area and we have been told by the local game biologists from TPW. To cut all cedars at base and let lay on ground especially where we had topography for that reason to help slow down erosion during heavy rains and the tree laying dead on ground would act as a way to slow that moving water. Sorry so long winded on this but I think this is an god sent for the Central Texas area as a Residential home builder in the Austin Area alone for past 25 years and seeing how areas that use to be full of oak trees on preserves around where I mostly build are now full of Cedar and it is killing so many oaks and the soil is just eroding of hill sides and filling the bottom of creek beds to point where they no longer an carry the water during these heavy rain events away to the lake like they use to. Again so glad that you got the patents on this and working on the states approval and will keep eye open closely on this in near future.
Once the tree dies it will decay fast it left standing. That is what happens when it dies from the inside out. If you just cut one down it will be there 30 years later. What I would do is only treat 25-30 percent of the trees each year and be careful not to treat tree in spots that the herbicide could be washed away.
If I may suggest, should you want to utilize the carbon/fertilization the dead trees are providing on site you could turn those trunks and extra brush into Hugelmounds. Planting a Hugelmound with high acid loving plants like berries, cucumbers, beans, squash and a whole assortment of bee/butterfly attracting flowers could not only solve what to do with the dead wood, but could turn it into extra produce for you and your family. They are designed to act as a type of earthy sponge so you keep water on site & refill your tables without causing damage through things like erosion. You don't have to dig it in, just lay in above ground and they become raised beds on contour with the land (if you place them that way). Spend 30 minutes or so here on YTube looking into them (several designs to fit your lifestyle), even if you don't use the dead cedars for that, maybe it'll inspire something else!
I work for the telco industry in east tx. We used to have a herbicide ball we called them mothballs made by rainbow industries and we would put them beside telco peds by the road here in east tx due to vines and brush covering them up. I haven’t seen any in 20 years or more as then went to a granular like cat litter herbicide. That’s a great product and idea for use. Tw that was a sweet r22 in the video.
I'm from Washington state so we don't have tremendous problems with cedar trees out here but many of the UA-cam channels I watch based out of Oklahoma always talk about how problematic the cedar trees are on their property. I think your absolutely correct when you say this is a game changer! I had no idea how much water these trees "take from the land" essentially. I just hope your ready to supply the probable demand there will likely be for this product. :) Very informative video.
Wow😮 congratulations 🎉 Leave it to you to make it fun too😂😂 I wish much success, I believe you have hit the jackpot AND saved millions of gallons of water!!!
What a fantastic invention. It's exciting to think about how wide spread this application can effectively do the job. Congratulations on your invention. Thank you.
In arid climates where ecological water competion is critical, and invasive secies are rampant, this is awesome. I generally look for alternatives to herbicides, but this controlled application swings the balance. Working on my helicopter rating now.... Australia
The way the trees look as if it was planted the way all the trees are spaced out just right. is there a certain time of the year the seeds replant themselves and the wind broad cast the seed. You have a awesome product
Congratulations Jason!! If you can kill Cedar trees and Yucca plants, then you have struck gold with this product and the application method is phenomenal!!
@@-10ranch will do. I have been treating about 200 acres a day. Rain out this morning but thats ok. All the trees I did the first of May are starting to show☠️👍🏻
What's a promising product you have created, love to watch you take them out, highly satisfying I would guess. It seems that it will take out all trees it hits, looked at your website but you did not mention cottonwood, any thoughts on cottonwood? Thank you and good luck going forward, I believe I'll be purchasing this
What Caliber are these pellets? .50 or .68? Can any standard .50 or .68 paintball gun be used in application? What operating psi and fps are recommended? Are these hard like a pellet or like a paintball with a glycerin casing around the fill? If the “gun” were to break or chop a pellet are you at risk medically of the dust that would come off it?
@@themendotaranch ahh I was just curious. I come from the paintball community and noticed the mechanical vulken on your website. Was curious if this was modified or the stock .68 caliber paintball marker. I have a large land owner friend up by y’all that is currently looking into your products. And was asked to do some research myself. Thanks for the info.
How long is its residual in soil? Better question how long until the grass can grow back? How far do you have to stay away from oaks? Does it work on prickly pear?
As an applicator myself I am interested in the other species this would work on. Could this possibly take the place of garlon type products for forestry and rangeland? What is the active ingredient if you can say? Thanks it’s a great looking product.
@@themendotaranch I just went over and checked out the label and the list of targeted species. I noticed black gum tree on there. That is one hard wood that is impossible to work with. You can’t even make lumber with it. We have a lot of black gum in Southeast Ga due to low wet conditions and the black gum does well in wet areas. You have got something great going now.
@@themendotaranch you should present the products to a company (Red River Specialties) I buy most of my forestry chemicals from for the farm and our small timber holding. I hold a commercial license and a private applicator license but mostly have them for my own use. RRS has dealer warehouses all over Texas to Georgia where I am. Give them a call.
How would you treat grown-up fence lines covered in mesquite, huisache and Oaks in south central Texas? How far apart would you shoot the bullets to completely wipe out vegetation on the fence line?
Does it only work on cedar trees? I have some sumacs I'd love to finally be rid of. What a great idea. Smallholders might like to rent one for a day. At Tractor Supply, maybe. You're gonna be rolling in dough. The Forest Service could use it to get rid of invasives.
I would love to run a test plot for you. In South Texas we fight Guajillo , Guajillo Acacia and black brush that sprout up in hay fields and pastures. Shooting them pellets from a Jeep or UTV would be great. Please let me know..
Well done Jason. I have a Russian knapweed problem I handled most of it with a boom sprayer but I sure would like to be able to spot shoot'em. Would your setup work for something like that
Did you used to work for Helena? Because they brought this out to try 7 years ago with their generic Velpar. You said you invented this but I dont remember you being involved?
@UCLbvvodlUOkRlnavKQIt1ZQ I am in North Carolina. One of the biggest issues we have here is Kudzu. Do you think this would be a good fit for that issue?

Cool product. Maybe that’s what I need to get into when I retire from the feed yard!
Good plan
👍 Video shows it works in wind too. That’s a big deal
Get sure does
Congratulations. This is going to be a great product that is missing in the market.
Good for you! I know the problem with these trees and this is fantastic, fantastic! I know Mother Earth will thank you for your invention
I love your attitude.... POWERFUL CREATING 🙏🙏🙏
Does this work on Maple trees too?
In arid climates where ecological water competion is critical, and invasive secies are rampant, this is awesome. I generally look for alternatives to herbicides, but this controlled application swings the balance. Working on my helicopter rating now.... Australia
Good deal. Fly safe
Outstanding!!! I hope it become available in Australia.
I’m sure it will
The way the trees look as if it was planted the way all the trees are spaced out just right. is there a certain time of the year the seeds replant themselves and the wind broad cast the seed. You have a awesome product
The birds eat the seeds then crap them out. That’s why you see them in a straight line under a powerline, or in the fence row
wow very awesome. thanks@@themendotaranch
We live in Wisconsin does it work on Barberry bushes?
Not for sure
So what happens to the dead trees should I pile them up
You can or give them 4-5 years and they will be on the ground
Congratulations Jason!! If you can kill Cedar trees and Yucca plants, then you have struck gold with this product and the application method is phenomenal!!
Thanks. I think it was a gift so that we can reclaim our land
How long those it take for those trees to decompose? Well done.👍❤️🇨🇦
@@denisedenomme361 about three years
Why are Yucca problematic?
Over what period of time do you need the 3/4: of inch of rain
January-October
We need this here in Kansas/Nebraska!!!
For sure. I’ll take care of that next year
How’s it do on mesquite? I see them listed on the website but would love to see some examples
It works on mesquite but you might want to give it a little extra just because mesquite is a tough one
How is this any different than Graslan pellets? We've used them 40 years ago to control cedars and sagebrush out west.
It’s a different chemistry, and you can shoot the bullets. It works
Is this just for cedars? Or do they work on Bradford Pears and privet? (Can I get a what what?)
It works on just about anything brushbullet.com
Question. After they are dead do they need to be removed and burned if owner wants to or will they just rot away over time?
They will rot from the inside out over the next couple years
Count me in for ground application. I have 2,800 acres I could put it on now. I am definitely going to try it out.
Brush Bullet.com Good deal
@@themendotaranch Just did the website stuff. Let me know. Hopefully I can open up this area for you.

80 days residual but you don’t see much grass damage. I would give a oak 15-20 feet. Testing on prickly pear might take a different chemistry

Yes it would take the place of garlon

Every 3 to 5 feet
We’re can I buy this at?
I live in Nevada
Go to Brush Bullet .com. I’m still waiting on Texas labeling
Have you tested these on Russian Olive and Salt Cedars? If so is it the same rate for them ?
It get both with ease. I would stay with the same rate
The dot and county road departments need it for
roadside tree control. Would be way cheaper and easier than manually or mechanically removing trees.
Will this work on mesquite trees ?
Yes, all evasive species.
Do you need any volunteers to come out and shoot cedar trees. That actually looks like fun. 😂
It is fun
Does it only work on cedar trees? I have some sumacs I'd love to finally be rid of. What a great idea. Smallholders might like to rent one for a day. At Tractor Supply, maybe. You're gonna be rolling in dough. The Forest Service could use it to get rid of invasives.
Yes it will get sumac It will get just about any tree
Didn't know ceader tree's, took that much water,, glad springs coming back, probably same problem on navaho rez
That's pretty cool. Hope it helps lotsa folks. Awesome.
I would love to run a test plot for you. In South Texas we fight Guajillo , Guajillo Acacia and black brush that sprout up in hay fields and pastures. Shooting them pellets from a Jeep or UTV would be great.
