Cedar is the species Brush Bullet was built around. It's one of the most water-hungry plants on Texas rangeland — a mature tree can pull 30 gallons a day during the growing season — and it absorbs herbicide quickly through the root zone.
Because of that fast uptake, cedars treated with Brush Bullet typically show visible browning within weeks of a meaningful rain, with full control over the growing season. Drop one pellet per 3 feet of tree height at the base of the trunk and let the next rainfall do the work.
- Treat the worst stand first — cedars choke out grass faster than almost anything else.
- Multi-stem trees: treat each stem as a separate tree.
- About 1 inch of cumulative rainfall fully dissolves the pellet.
