"Eric in North Texas" wrote in message oups.com... Other than chemicals, the only thing that has worked for me is persistence with pruners. The roots can't survive without photosynthesis, take away the leaves constantly and consistently and the roots will starve to death. My suggestion is roundup concentrate. Pour it FULL strength on the tree, [snip] NEVER use a concentrate "full strength". It's a "concentrate" for a reason. It needs to be mixed with water to be safe, and to be effective. -- Eggs -Did you know that dolphins are so intelligent that within only a few weeks of captivity, they can train Americans to stand at the very edge of the pool and throw them fish. |

SOME consumer products have instructions for use at full strength, and in this case roundup does for extremely problem weeds/vegitation. The roundup concentrate that sits in my shop should never be put on at full strength, becasue it would probably burn a hole straight through the earth, and is WAY too concentrated. |

Thanks everyone. I've got some good ideas here and will give them a try.
I'll be back if I can't get it to work. In your vaired experiences, How long does this generally take to kill off the tree? -- Message posted via HomeKB.com http://www.homekb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/gardens/200610/1 |

In your vaired experiences, How long does this generally take to kill off the tree? What I do is this, drill holes in the tree stump, fill with roundup, repeat a few times then burry the stump in some dirt. Come back a month later and you can almost pull the stump out by hand. |
