In my past the best way to get rid of any tree is to drill a hole in the
trunk kind of low and insert some thick copper wire in several places. This
always works for me. I just took out a 30 foot locust tree in 2 mionths
like this.

There's not much to drill yet, how about if I "knotched" it at the base and
wrapped (twist-tied) some regular copper wire there? Would that be basically
the same, having the copper leach into the root system?

Thanks for the reply...

It's a small batch Alder trees that once established they just go wild
and,
considered more like a weed in the Norhwest.

Is there a product on the market where I could snip them young and rub
something on the cut area and have it affect ***only*** its own root
system?

Is there a spike of some sort that can be tapped into the trunk that would
take it (only it) out?

Thanks for any tips or help...
