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?
