How to kill a tree stump

Our neighbour recently had a horse chestnut removed, now we keep continuously getting growth (suckers) on our side of the fence. Any ideas on how to kill it off short of excavating my garden to 10ft and digging out the roots? Keep pulling up the suckers as they appear, and encourage your neighbor to do the same. Eventually the food reserves in the roots will be exhausted and the roots die. I had a sumach removed once, and it threw up suckers for two years, but eventually it was entirely gone. A white poplar threw up suckers for three years, iirc, but again, it too eventually gave up the fight. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada |
