Removing suckers from cut-leaf alder
What is the best way of removing suckers from a cut-leaf alder?
Can this only be done using herbicides or can it also be done organically? TIA Nick |

I'm not a gardening bod myself (I was asking on behalf of someone without internet access) -- I'll query the herbicide thing & post back. Regards Nick |
