Tree Stump


Tree  Stump

Many Times we are asked about killing a tree stump, the photo shows one I treated 4 years ago. It endangered the patio wall. I drilled holes filled with rid a root, plugged holes with putty and this is the end result.

That's looks an ideal treatment for problem tree stumps, and the end result is neat and tidy...
Is that a hydrangea on the right ?
Which variety ?

Thanks Bob. Is Rid A Root a product name? We've got one that needs doing as we get the dreaded fungii on and around it in the autumn. Trouble is, our stump is about 2 foot high, so maybe we'll have to cut it down to ground level first?

Hi Dawn,
Thank you, it was rid a root 4 years ago when I did this one, now it is Root Out.
This was a 40ft. high Cherry tree and you can see by my hand how big it was. I treated a 15ft. high Cherry tree 2 years ago with the same treatment, but it was 3ft. high. No need to cut yours down, just remember to drill many holes in the cambium layer.
