Suckers / ground shoots

[Mitch@hotmail.com]

Any way to keep these nasty tree suckers/shoots from coming back?
It's alot of work to trim them down, and it seems like they're a foot
tall again in just a couple weeks.

We have lots of trees!

Instead of cutting them down, pull up the root that they're coming from.
A lot of times, they're from very shallow surface roots that aren't too
hard to pull.
