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.

They are a mess around here. Grow everywhere! At least they are easy
to cut. I use the loppers to the sprigs off. When they are small 1/4
inch or so the weed trimmer will cut them but they seem to grow to an
inch over night. When they get to big for the weed trimmer I just cut
them off and toss them in the yard and let the riding lawnmower deal
with them. Anything over ... say an 1 1/2 I'll cut with the chain saw
into little logs and burn them in the chimmenia (sp). Those things can
burn a large brush pile up pretty fast. Makes a good beer drinking
project with buddies that come over. I think they used to call them
incinerators but now it's a decorative functional yard ornament? Put
some hail screen over the top so you don't set the neighbor's house on
fire and have hot dogs and clothes hangers ready in case the firetrucks
show up.
