Love trees. This one was close to the house, piping. Tried salting the stumps with drilled holes but it's still growing.

Cut then open it with a hatchet and slowly pour some 24D on it straight out the bottle. Let it soak then repeat. Will not even take 3 oz.

Just be careful using those chemicals full strength. I always wear gloves.

I drilled holes with 1/2 bit, epsom salt with round up. Tree was 20-30 ft high. Well rooted with plenty of water.

Fixing to dig up 6 of those SOB's today. Was lucky they were growing real close to a power line and I had those guys cut them down and haul off free. 
I will be using my backhoe to dig them.

They are normaly pretty shallow rooted, tie a chain to it and pull it up with your truck just like on TV.

The ground here is like concrete it's so dry. 
I did try one to pull up with a tractor. Didn't work. My trees are easy 20 years old.

Best bet is to rent a bobcat or something similar and pull them out. Should only take an hour and if you are good you can probably ask to test drive one and do the work and then bring it back in.

Put a hose on them for a while and saturate the ground, drink a beer or two, wet the ground good again, have another beer or two, and they will pop right out.

Man, I really want a backhoe.
I want to build a sort of mini-sized Stonehenge replica in my front yard.. I've been wanting to do this for a long time.

Put Tordon on a fresh stump. About $18 a quart. Works on anything
