Answer 2

A stump killer such as TORDON  will do the trick. Be careful to keep it away from streams or ponds!  Also any vegitation you don't want to kill.

Answer 3

I would say battery acid. or tree stump acid...good luck with your project!

Answer 4

Some plants will die if you cut them to the ground. Before you start spreading chemicals all over your yard, wait and see what happens. Some of thise suggestions will make it impossible to grow anything there for years.

If it sprouts new branches, let it get 6 to 12 inches high and  spray it with Glysophate plant killer.

Or ... just dig out the roots. That's certain to kill plants.

Answer 5

My husband once put rock salt all over the part that was still above ground and this helped the plant to go away.

Answer 6

Acid of tree- stump........

Bst of luck

Answer 7

Salt is permanent. Salting the ground is a technique used in warfare so that nothing will ever grow in an area again. So please, think twice before salting your land.

Most root killers are designed for either weeds (shallower roots) or for being poured into plumbing pipes into which roots have grown. Try asking at a garden center for environmentally friendly chemicals, but you may just need to get a tiller and break up as much as you can.

Answer 8

Try buying some good rope and tying the base of the shrub to your car.  Pull up enough to put a lot of tension on the shrub and start digging.  If you ever want to be able to plant anything else there you really need to get rid of the roots as well as the above-ground parts of the shrub.

Answer 9

You can get tree stump killer to do the job http://www.selections.com/GF1911/deep-ro...

Answer 10

You can use brush killer, dig out the roots, apply a lot of salt, etc..........
