Cherry Tree Roots.

Question

Our next door neighbour cut down a mature cherry tree 3 years ago. Ever since I’ve been pulling up little shoots all over my garden. Today I located some roots near the surface and would like to know if these are actually cherry roots? The picture of the roots is 10 metres from the tree stump.

Yes, and this is very common. Here is an article to help you kill off the roots, which will kill off any new instances of the tree:
