Drill a couple of 3" deep holes down into the trunk. Fill up the holes with Round Up. Â Once it's dead and brittle it will be easy to break off at the base.If you have a chainsaw, cut it off at the base now, drill the holes and fill with Round Up. The stump will die.
@sammee: Great idea too! Thanks! I'm planning on doing this soon, but before fall. Love it!
How's your rescue pup doing btw? 4951
