First ensure that they do not have a preservation order on them, it may
prove expensive for you if there is. As previously written they sprout
like mad from their stumps. I have a number taken down (electricity
board insisted), as they could not access with a root grinder they made
fairly deep cuts vertically down the stumps then poured a killer (don't
know what) over the stumps. that has killed them and not affected the
land around.


Has anyone ever put a preservation order on an elder? a) they don't live
long b) they don't grow large
