The trees Hydro-Qubec wants to treat are small. Why don you wait until they e bigger?
It’s important to intervene when the trees are small. If an herbicide is applied, it’s easier to completely cover all the leaves on the tree and it requires less herbicide. If mechanical cutting is required, trees need to be cut when they’re small so less wood debris is left on the ground, thereby facilitating the work of Hydro-Qubec crews who periodically use rights-of-way to inspect equipment or do repairs.
