We try to garden as cleanly as possible (hello happy bees, bye bye herbacides). Especially when it comes to our fruit and vegetable gardening!
Start by cutting the tree to the desired height with a garden saw or strong clippers.
Its such a simple trick that has been really effective for us. For full instructions, please visit http://www.lavendeandlemonade.com/2014/02/how-to-stop-stumps-from-growing-back.html
