Almost 2 years ago, we hired a tree company to cut down *a 60 foot high
Chinese Elm with *24 inch trunk. Remaining stump is 3 inches high which
they filled grooves with chainsaw fuel. They guaranteed this would kill
the stump and prevent any regrowth. Not only has the stump *NOT DIED,
but *constantly produces "hundreds" of new fast growing twigs all year.
