I have a 6" stump left from a tree I just chopped down (threatening to break
the drain chamber in my garden that's all of a foot away from the trunk).

No idea what the tree was, but I need to ensure its complete and permanent
demise.

Apart from the old drill-holes-in-stump and pour in diesel/old-sump-oil
trick (don't have any mouldy sump oil to hand anyway) what would be a good
product to use?

Are any of these any good?

Some of those seem to be glyphospate based, which I *thought* acted on
foliage. I need something that can be applied to the cut trunk end that will
travel through the tree's system.


Glyphosphate is normally applied to foliage, but apparently it can be
used to kill stumps and tree - hence them selling a version for that
purpose. Which seems to be just strongish glyphosphate applied neat
