Getting Rid of Chinaberry Stump

We want a level area in our backyard of a certain size but there was a Chinaberry tree. Lightening had hit it, so we had it cut to the ground level. Now shoots keep coming back and I want to get rid of the entire thing so I can use the area for a pool. What is the best way to do this and what product works the best to kill the shoots so that they don’t come back. Thank you for your help.

Undiluted Round-up will help kill the surviving roots. You will need to wound the roots/shoots (normally, people cut the suckers down and use those wounds) and then paint the undiluted Round-up on these wounds. The bigger or more wounds you paint, the better. The roots will suck the Round-up in and it will eventually kill them. You may have to repeat the process a few times to fully kill the roots if the root system is still strong.
