Default How to stop tree sprouting.

Hi - I have a small maple in the middle of my lawn that has failed to do
anything much and it must go.

If I cut the trunk (which is only a couple of inches thick) to the
base, how do I stop it re-shooting?





Not a perfect solution: Just keep cutting off the shoots that come up.
This may go on for several months (or more) but eventually it will stop.
