How to kill a tree stump
In message m, Scoby
writes 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? Try Ammonium sulphamate into the main stump - Rootout (or something like that as a brandname). Decomposes to fairly harmless nitrogenous fertiliser afterwards but be sure to observe all the safety warnings on the packaging. Simple chemicals that can kill entire trees are *not* user friendly. Tree roots can be similar sizes to the obvious stuff you see up in the air. There is a lot of stored energy. Horse chestnuts are vulnerable to some nasty fungal infections which in Belgium is causing an alarming number of old growth trees ( 100 years old ) to fall down onto major roads. Not helped by Napoleons tree lined road strategy. Regards, -- Martin Brown |
