Hi there,

I have recently removed two trees from my garden as they were becoming
too big and were blocking out too much sunlight in certain parts of the
garden. They are c8 inches in diameter and i have managed to chainsaw
my way through the stup so that only 4inches remains on the one and
about 10 inches on the other [due to its location it was difficult to
get any lower].

Is there anything i can do to stop them re-growing/spruting or is that
it?

I hope someone can advise.

Regards,
Anthony

Drill several holes in the trunk. Keep putting fertilizer in the
holes and cutting off the suckers. Or, fill the holes with saltpeter
and burn the trunk.
