Ok, I cut down a lot of Leylandi last year but left about a foot and a
half
of stump sticking up, now they are growing again but the wifes heard that
there is a substance that you can put on the stump to stop them growing.
Anyone know what it's called? Can you get it from any decent Garden
Centre?


Yes, stump killer, drill holes in the top of the stump and put some in each
hole, but mostly
and more effectivly is to use an axe and slice open the edges of the bark,
peeling back like a banana
and fill with the stump killer, then
wrap yp the whole stump with plastic and staple to the stump
leave for a couple of months then open up and re-fill and close up again.
works for me on other trees, never tried it on laylandi so thats my caveat
Remeber this is not a stump removal method, just a killer
