Default Killing Tree Roots Once and For All

Gideon, thank you for your suggestion. I haven't had much luck
spraying Roundup on the plants that pop up. They brown and shrivel a
bit, then come back full force. A neighbor suggested using brush
killer (SA-50?). I wonder how that compares with the 2-4-D.

Many thanks.

1) Spray the leaves with 2-4-D (Weed-B-Gon).
2) Drill holes in roots, pore in glyphosate (Roundup) using a funnel
Try to drill at an angle and avoid going all the way through the
roots.
3) Try both methods if you are extremely impatient.

Good luck,
Gideon
