Little Unwanted trees

[roudee1]

I have small trees grown between the sidewalk and my house and I want to kill the roots before they can get any bigger and destroy my foundation. What can I use to do this?

roudee1 - If you don't want to dig them out, keep cutting them down. without any leaves they'll die off, or drown them with a good weedkiller, painted on the leaves

Or you could ring-bark them

Go away on holiday for two weeks and ask my sister to care for them. It's always worked for me!

Cut them off and drive a copper nail into the stump. The copper poisons the stump.

hammer in copper nails to the cut stumps. It poisons the tree. there is also a product you mix with boiling water and pour into a bored out hole of the stump. this one you'll have to do periodically.
