Chinese Elms - Can't get rid of it!
I have a Chinese Elm tree starting to grow in my yard. It's about 5' tall
I've been trying to get rid of it. It's very close to a chain link fence do digging it up is a challenge. Is there an easy way to get rid of it? |

Chinese Elms - Can't get rid of it!
No there isn't! The trailer park I live in has them all over the place and every
spring I have to clear out their seeds from my garden and pull up the odd ones that do start growing. The manage has a small plot out by the driveaway that he let one start up in there 3 years ago and alread the roots are so deep and spread out that it's take a hit with a 10 megaton NUKE to get rid of it. -- In This Universe The Night was Falling,The Shadows were lenghtening towards an east that would not know another dawn.

Chinese Elms - Can't get rid of it!
Hi,
I have one in my back yard too and I really hated it. It just grew too fast and require lots of maintenace ... trimming. It's an ok tree until the ladder doesn't even reach the top and you need to physically climb the tree while holding a saw ... it's just a big mess. I don't know whether you saw previous posting about killing tree. There was a guy suggesting to cut the tree and put some kind of chemical on it to kill the stump. However, the problem still exist ... you need to remove the stump. It just too much trouble so I'm just going to leave the tree as is. Alex "Paull" wrote in message ...
