Pack the holes with

winter.
As private individuals, how can we get hold of the saltpetre
(potassium
nitrate?) ?
Very difficult as it's one of the parts for making gun powder.
Would a sodium chlorate / sugar mix replace it?
Ask a chemist or a charcuterie.
Since it's also part of the way to making Salami and Salt Beef.
....and I forgot, Bacon.

thanks for all your suggestions,someone also said hammer copper nails in to the top of the stump,might do that and leave it and break off any new shoots and make a feature out of it,thank you kaz44
