Ricko Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 Hi, any suggestions on how to kill off Poplar stumps. The trees were felled a little while ago but the stumps are starting to grow again. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 Roundup, SBK and Resolva products will do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, big, deep holes, filled with salt and bleach. Oh and cut off all the new growth as low as possible and keep doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 As above and also drill some holes from the side near to the soil. Suggest you buy or borrow one of those flat wood drills. I have a long one I use for drilling hinge pin holes in field gate posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old farrier Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Or cut a cross in the top with chainsaw as deep as you can go if it’s in a safe place soak with diesel a couple of times and then have a bonfire probably not at the moment though 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
