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?
