From an earlier post I asked how to keep squirrels out of a hanging basket.
Folks on this newsgroup told me salt would keep the squirrels away but would also kill the plant. Are the tiny trees in a place where you can put a little salt on them without compromising whatever else you have growing?

Has anyone had any experience with this sort of situation ? Pls help Thanks Kim Kim, "Urgent?" Life and death? Brain eating pod plants, maybe? Seriously, what you are seeing is "suckers." When you say that the tree was "cut" - do you mean "cut down and removed" or "trimmed?" Either way, this tree is reacting to foliage loss with new growth from the roots. If "trimmed" the tree will eventually reduce its suckering as the top growth matures again, although it will never be completely free of it. Just keep mowing - don't use any sort of herbicide or she may kill the tree. If the tree was removed altogether, she can eventually kill the suckering roots using a glyphosate herbicide. It will take some patience, though. She can shield her lawn and other nearby plants with cardboard - lay the suckers down on the cardboard and spray them. And don't use salt - it'll kill the lawn and all of her landscaping before it kills the suckers. -- Mike Harris Austin, TX |

No, the answer to everything is not salt. Please stop telling people
to use salt. It is a toxin when used the way you instruct. On Mon, 03 Jul 2006 17:57:31 GMT, "MAP" wrote: From an earlier post I asked how to keep squirrels out of a hanging basket.

If you kill the stump, the sprouts will probably disappear, if they are
suckers. If you don't, they'll still keep coming up. Since you didn't apply it when you first cut it, you will have to drill holes in the trunk and put it in. Go to a good garden center and ask for a good stump killer. The directions are on the package. In the meantime, keep mowing down the suckers, because if they can't put out leaves, they can't grow.
