Default Tree suckers


wrote in message
ups.com...
My aspens are starting to send numerous suckers into my lawn.

Is there any kind of spray that I can put on them that will get rid of
them but not kill my tree?


I think any spray that would kill the suckers is also likely to kill the
tree. I would just continue to mow them down or individually pull them
(being careful not to harm the root system). I have crape myrtles that did
the same thing, but they eventually stopped putting out suckers after I cut
them back a few times.
