I SUGGEST YOU TRY ROUNDUP . BUT BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO INHALE ANY SPRAY OR GET IT ON OTHER PLANTS
Hi Sue,
Cut it down and in the stump take out as much as you can either by drilling and/or scooping out, in that deep as possible cavity add a mixture of 1 gallon of vinegar and 1 cup of salt. This should be done on a series of days when there is no rain and as dry as possible.
Thank you.. I will try that
Cut down to stump. Drill lots of holes into the stump, add rock salt (like used to make ice cream, or put on ice to melt it), and 5% white vinegar into the holes. Add vinegar and salt periodically.
