What's a home remedy to kill a tree?

Question

My mom wants to get rid of a tree in our yard. She cut it & it grew back. She wants to know how she can kill the tree's roots using a home remedy? thanks in advance

Answer 1

Copper nail. Just don't be in a hurry!

Answer 2

A chainsaw works pretty good for me :^).  Roundup on the new growth should work.  If you don't like Roundup, you can try vinegar.

Answer 3

iT SHOULD BE DUG UP AND ALL THE ROOTS TAKIN OUT.

Answer 4

dig out the roots...

Answer 5

Salt!

There was a mulberry tree that was trying to grow just a couple inches from the foundation of my house.  I kept cutting it down in the hope that eventually it would give up, but mulberry trees are very persistent.  I'd rather not use chemical weed killers - although they would do the job - so this spring I cut the tree down again and immediately poured lots of table salt onto the fresh cut.  That was 3 months ago and there are still no signs of new growth.
