   Poplar and Box Elder tree roots criss-cross three of my berry patches. 
If I pull them up, I only get what doesn't break off and I damage berry 
plants in the process.  If I rub the root shoots (small trees) with Round 
Up, the shoot (sometimes) dies but the Round Up doesn't seem to damage the 
root.  I don't care if the trees, are damaged in the effort.  Cutting the 
trees isn't an option because when Poplar and Box Elder are cut, they 
produce copious amounts of root shoots.
   What would you do to eradicate roots in your berry patch?
