Father in law has about 9 of these massive trees in his back garden.


Some roots he was able to dig up on one peice leaving a monster hole and
others he drilled holes and filled with weed killer crystals for a month or
two, then replaced with more holes and some substance to cause wood to rot.
After a year or two just dug root up with a spade.


No need for weed killer, the stumps won't regrow, so they will die soon
enough of their own accord
