I agree with Helen. There is energy in the tree roots, but that is being
fed by the tree. If you don't take the tree out, the problem never gets
better. then you have to take out a zillion sprouts, true, but sooner or
later you win.
We've had a section of our garden taken over by passionflower, which has
perennial roots here. This year I've pulled every one that came up, and
they are slowing down. Maybe by next year they will be pretty well gone.
