Help Please

Has anyone managed to kill an Elderberry tree, I chop them down every

year
and they thrive!! time to try something more drastic..any suggestions
welcome. Thanks



I have been advised that elderberry doesn't throw suckers from its roots
therefore if you cut it down then sever the roots as far as you can from
the trunk it should die. This is what I have just done and will find if
its true in due course.
