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.


Chuckle. My yard is full of them. Even have one growing through an
abandoned kids play fort. Cutting them down just ****es them off. Birds
and groundhogs love them, and plant ten new ones for every one you cut.
You gotta go deep, and destroy the main root. Shovel and hatchet time.
Otherwise, plan on cutting it down every couple of months.
