Any tried and true methods of killing some chinese elms - short of
cutting them down? I'm really tired of their seeds spread all over my
yard and everyone of them growing - grrrrr.....

Even cutting these darn trees down won't kill them. They are truly the most
annoying tree I know of.

Then you haven't experienced the black walnut. These grow from roots
and 'seeds' and maybe from whim. They grow inside the garage (with one
dim window) and inside the greenhouse (all window). The roots extend
*miles*, and they are not the least bit discouraged by being cut to a
1" stub.
