Cherry Laurel Tree

Question

How can one get rid of the roots of this very messy tree? After having the tree chopped down, there are still sprouts coming up everywhere.

Answer 1

Cut the suckers (the small plants) and paint the fresh cuts with undiluted Round-up. This will get into the root system and kill the roots. It may take a month or so, but it will work. You can also try using a reciprocal saw to cut the roots out of the ground.
