I have a small copse of very tall trees and right in the middle is a

your thoughts on burning it down? I have read that it is possible to
burn an old stump by drilling holes and filling them with sodium
chlorate weed killer, leaving it for a few months and then lighting it.
If I drill holes high up and do the same thing, the fire should then
burn what is above it. At least that's my theory: what do you think?

What a daft idea. Theres nothing difficult about cutting down tall
trees, just cut them part way though then use a rope from ground level
to snap the top section off. Rinse & repeat. Cutting them into 8' plus
a bit sections is just right for saw into useful sizes.

But dont undertake tree felling unless you understand what youre doing,
they dont call the branches widow makers for nothing.
