Cut the trees set the saw down and immediately put a liberal amount of CONCENTRATED roundup on the top of the stump. After it soaks in in a minute or 2 do it again & again if you wont for good measure.

Subject: [NAFEX] How to kill tree roots?


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?
