tree help

[texastruecuttin]

i was wondering if yall guys new of anything to put on tree's after cuttin them down to ensure they dont come back. i believe A stump grinder is what people typically use but i was interested to know if there was some chemical that yall knew of that would do a good job. Ive heard diesel works if you drill holes into the stump but dont know if thats a sure way. Anyhow i'd appreciate any help you have to offer thanks.

Works great.

Most conifers won't sprout back anyway. So that's about half that you don't need to do any more for than cutting.

A couple, like Yew, will sprout.

2/3 of the time, I find that deciduous don't come back much if I remove them in the warm season, and cut grooves into the stump with a chainsaw. It causes it to dry out. I space the grooves about one to two inches apart, and try to get close to the bark on the outer ones so the cambium dries out.

You can paint straight 41% Glyphosate (round up) directly onto the fresh cut.
