If there still is a stump, drive copper nails in it. That may stop the new
shoots.

The problem now are shoots coming up everywhere from roots still under
the surface out within 6-12 feet of the old stumps. Will these
eventually diminish and die out? I pull them regularly.

You don't even have to pull them, unless you're running around there
barefoot. Just mow right over them and they'll stop in a couple years.

If you don't want to keep mowing, apply Roundup with a paint brush to
the
shoots.


Humm...no! Don't ever use Roundup. We are trying to kill a former tree not
the drinking waters.
