I think that you must be talking about a white poplar, cottonwood or an
ailanthus (tree-of-heaven). Those are the only tree which can get pretty
huge that sprout so vigorously from the roots.
nu-ugh... I have a huge stump of Mimosa with huge roots was cut down
abt Dec 2001 and it is still sending up sprouts big time. I mea like
dozens of themwhich grow to 3 feet in a wink and we keep cutting them
back and putting roundup and drilling holes in stump ..cut as tearing
up a fence and highlines.. and in order to keep neighbor happy ..
still trying to get it to stop growingG
I finally succeeded in terminating a willow tree by alternating between
cutting and Roundup. You don't want to do them both at the same time,
because it takes a while for the poison to work its way back down into the
roots.
