I'm still trying to kill some trees that we cut down after the ice storm in 2007. One is a hybrid poplar that we had cut down in our front yard. We had the stump completely ground out but sprouts starting coming up by the dozens from the roots extending out in all directions into the yard as much as 15 feet away from where the trunk was. I sprayed and pulled up sprouts all summer. Then I decide to try letting the sprouts around the trunk area grow a little before spraying to see if that would help - it didn't - so now we have a three foot hybrid poplar BUSH in our front yard. I've used regular Round-Up with less water than it calls for and this spring tried Ortho (I think) Brush Killer but it doesn't look like it's dying to me.

We also have a couple hedge trees and a mulberry tree in our old fence row that were cut down but not ground out that are sending up lots of sprouts. The new branches on the hedge trees are very thorny so I really need to get those under control. I've sprayed brush killer on them but also bought some stump killer that I haven't tried yet.

I need to take a picture of a couple of weed clumps that I've been trying to kill too. I've sprayed with Round-Up and they keep getting bigger. I don't know what it is. Very stubborn though. It has broad green leaves coming out from the base.
