Hi Joan,

Sounds like you have a line of trees that sprang up
over time, not all one variety

I had good experience killing out a line of
chinese elms in my yard by sawing them off
a foot above the ground and hollowing out
the trunk with a chainsaw. The hollow was
then packed with rock salt and a few cups
of water were added. A board was nailed
over the salt to keep it from being washed
out by rain. The process was a slow total
kill and still required chopping out sprouting
root sections quite a ways from the trunk.
The trunk and close in roots ceased growing.

If the trunks of the trees you need to kill are
not large enough to be hollowed and salted
I guess you will have to use salt water.

Be well,

Jay Gee
