Default killing a tree

nefletch wrote:
Lets just say I have a tree growing where I do not want it
to grow. And it is such a location that I cannot get to it
to dig it up. I have cut the tree down to shoulder height,
and it can stay there as long as it don't grow anymore.
It is approximately 5 inches across right now. What can
I do to kill it? should I drill holes in the top and pour
shrub/tree killer in the holes? How often? Do they make some sort of
object to drive into the stump that I
can pour a lot of chemical in, so it feeds it and kills it on
a continual basis? Any "intelligent" responses will be
appreciated. thank you


Just keep cutting the new growth every couple days and eventually the
root system will die. No chemicals needed.
