How keep tree limb from growing back?
I have an elm tree out front of my place
It has one really low branch that is head height and a nuisance. I saw it off but the dang thing just grows back even harder? How can i cut this off and keep it from growing bacK? Any chemical i can put on the "nub" after sawing it off to achieve that? |

An if you did have one - an elm is a notably vertical and towering tree, even small ones sold by tree farms don't usually have low branches sticking out to the side. Elms reach up up up. -v. |
I suppose that you tried just painting it.
No I haven't painted the cut area If I do that will it keep it from growing back? |

Could be a Chinese elm. Dimitri |
There is a special paint for that, but I don't know what it is called. It is black, and looks like tar. It is supposed to "heal" a severe cut or other damage, and I think would prevent the limb from growing back at that spot. --James-- |
