Default How do I kill a mulberry bush/tree once and for all?

I have a mulberry under my deck. It's really getting out of control.
I chop it off every year, but I know that's just a Band-Aid.

Last year I cut it off, drilled deep holes in the stump, and dumped
in Roundup concentrate. Didn't even skip a beat. It's bigger and
badder than ever.


Are you in Texas? I think HeyBub said it's legal there to use plastic
explosives on out-of-control plants, as long as you fire a warning
shot with a 16" naval gun first.


There are other restrictions: Has to be "in season" and there's a bag limit.
I don't know the limit because no one pays any attention to that sort of
stuff around here.

Plastic explosives are for pussies (and also expensive). We generally use
what's on hand - typically Ammonium nitrate and diesel fuel. Set it off with
a standard #6 blasting cap.
