I guess it depends on whether the tree that is cut likes to coppice. Gums
are particularly bad sending up new sappy growth.

I am not to 100% sure but I think it maybe possible to hire a stump grinder.

Anyways good luck.

Will be having an old tree removed from my backyard sometime in the next
few
weeks. The tree surgeon doesn't remove stumps, so there will be a 2' stump
left in my backyard. Is it possible to remove the stumps of older trees?
How
difficult and expensive is it?

I suppose I could always use it to put a bird bath on top of.
