Elderberry hedge
Anne Jackson says...
The last one I attempted to demolish was growing (as you say) in a narrow gap between a shed and a fence. I cut it as close to ground level as I could, leaving a stump of about 8" which I then attacked with an axe - this week I noticed that there are young shoots growing from the decimated stump... Within a two or three years it will be tree size again if left unchecked. The only way I found of permanently getting rid of one in such a position was by pouring an entire tub of sodium chlorate weed killer around its base while it was in full growth. This had to be repeated twice before it finally gave up and died. I don't know if that stump killer is any good - what's it called? Something like SBK? -- David in Normandy.
