Over time it just begins to rot away. This stump is close to the foundation of the house - too close to burn, and its not really in the way so I'm just leaving it alone and letting nature work its course.
Will this stuff kill the roots too? I got tree stump roots I need to kill growing into my Sewer Lateral (main sewer) that runs from my house outside to main St Sewer
I have a bunch of random like leafs with stems coming up away from the tree stump about 6 feet from the stump in each direction. would this help the random leaf roots surrounding the tree from growing?
what size spade are you using.? I've used a 1/2 inch spade and it feels slow; but then again I'm using a black and decker rechargeable 8v. or is it better to get a 12 v drill?
I don’t remember what I grabbed, probably a 3/4” or 1”, just whatever was in the toolbox. As far as the drill I think you could get by with whatever you have, no reason to go buy a new tool unless you have plans for it beyond drilling holes in a stump.
I’ve got literally the same issue. Same tree and everything. Problem it’s not just re sprouting fruit the stump but also the roots that were close to the surface. Will the herbicide affect other plants around it? The tree is also in the middle of side garden lol
Did this work even though you applied the Tordon RTU a while after the tree was cut down? I thought it needed to be applied immediately after the tree was cut? I have shoots growing up all over my back yard from a tree i cut down a couple months ago. Is it too late, or will this work?
You are correct that herbicide should be applied immediately after the cut because the stump attempts to scab over. The reason I drilled the holes was to open up a new wound so the herbicide would be effective. If I had to do this over again I would’ve drilled a little deeper and added a few more holes, but it did work. It should work for you, too. Thanks for watching!
Trees are so resilient but Tordon will flat knock stuff out. I may have to go back and hit this particular stump with a couple more shots, there are a few sprigs hanging on for dear life.
@@GWPHomestead I am just thankful it knocks out the roots as well. I've tried other products and nothing worked like Tordon. The Aspen sprouts (suckers) throughout my front and backyard would multiple for every sprout I pull.
@@GWPHomestead I will give it a try and go to the store to pick up some trodon RTU. Got a stump right up against my home’s foundation a bit nervous that the roots will damage it, need it dead.
I actually prefer using Epson salt rather than herbicide gives the same affect just takes a slight bit of labor and the ability to put more Epson salt in several times in a summer drill half a dozen 10 inch deep holes depending on stop after a summer Epson salt will dry out kill off the stump and then you can just use a piece of sheet metal and some barbecue charcoal and just end up burning/smoldering the stump for a day and bury it over and everything‘s gone. If you cannot burn it the stump will just probably right away within a year or so after the Summer of keeping it moist with Epson salt and a piece of plastic.
What after this? I cannot burn or grind it since its literally touching my fence. Any other way to completely get rid of the stump after treating it with the herbicide.
I used Tordon RTU here. Always read the label and pick a herbicide that’s effective against the tree species you’re targeting. Best of luck and thanks for watching!
Burn it, grind it, whatever you want. Just give it enough time for the herbicide to work it's way through the root system to kill what's left. Thanks for watching!

What does the stump look like after the stump dies for good? Did you remove it with ease? Or just leave it?
Over time it just begins to rot away. This stump is close to the foundation of the house - too close to burn, and its not really in the way so I'm just leaving it alone and letting nature work its course.
Thanks it looks easy enough. I will buy the product (Tordon) and let it do the work.
Works great, I’ve got more trees and stumps to do and I’m gonna have to buy some more myself.
Will this stuff kill the roots too? I got tree stump roots I need to kill growing into my Sewer Lateral (main sewer) that runs from my house outside to main St Sewer
Yes it kills it all.
How about follow up? Did it work?
How does it take to work?
Starts working immediately, you may have a little more growth as the herbicide works it’s way through the root system but eventually it all dies.
Im gonna be doing the same thing to a stump beside my ac unit. How long did it take after treatment til you were able to pull the stump up?
Haven’t even tried to pull it, I’m just letting the mushrooms work it over.
It would have been more helpful if you showed us what it looked like a month after putting that on.
A before and after .
I have a bunch of random like leafs with stems coming up away from the tree stump about 6 feet from the stump in each direction. would this help the random leaf roots surrounding the tree from growing?
Yes, what you’ve got there is a stump sprout
Can you use a chainsaw to put notches in the stump to pour the tordon in?
Yes you can, I've done that too.
what size spade are you using.? I've used a 1/2 inch spade and it feels slow; but then again I'm using a black and decker rechargeable 8v. or is it better to get a 12 v drill?

Its easiest to cut slits in tree with chainsaw after you cut the tree down. Its brutal on drills and drill bits.
If your drill isn't very powerful, pilot the hole first with regular drill bits. Something like 5mm>10mm>spade bit
I’ve got literally the same issue. Same tree and everything. Problem it’s not just re sprouting fruit the stump but also the roots that were close to the surface. Will the herbicide affect other plants around it? The tree is also in the middle of side garden lol
Yes it can affect other plants, but it's hard to say exactly which ones will or won't be harmed. These bradford pears are a problem!

Curious on results??
Worked great! Stump is slowly rotting away.
Did it work?
Yup!
Tordon is the best. We lost an Aspen tree due to Hurricane Derecho. Then sprouts came up all the yard.

would have been nice to see how it worked???
Worked well but looking back I should’ve drilled a few more holes, I had to add a couple more after the fact. Thanks for watching.
How long did it take for the stump to die?
Power drill down 6" minimum with a larger bit
Would hacking the stump work with this method? Just as long as I get ‘wet’ wood exposed?
I don't see why it wouldn't work, like you said the point is to expose that wet cambium layer of the stump. Can't hurt to try!

Same situation I had with the stump in this video - best of luck!

To each their own. Herbicide has worked well for me - Epsom salts not so much. Best of luck!
10" deep holes in a stump?
Effect, not affect
Or go non toxic and just cover it with black plastic for one warm summer
That should work fine, too 👍🏻
What after this? I cannot burn or grind it since its literally touching my fence. Any other way to completely get rid of the stump after treating it with the herbicide.
The only other way that I'm aware of is to wait it out and let it rot. Other folks on youtube may have better ideas, though - best of luck!
I just saw where it said to expose as much of the root as possible and pour boiling water on the roots, and it will shock and kill it.
Thank you 🙌
Best of luck!
Thanks and what’s the name of herbicide
I used Tordon RTU here. Always read the label and pick a herbicide that’s effective against the tree species you’re targeting. Best of luck and thanks for watching!
Ok. Then do u burn the stump?
Burn it, grind it, whatever you want. Just give it enough time for the herbicide to work it's way through the root system to kill what's left. Thanks for watching!
And did it work...
I did have to drill a few more holes and add some more herbicide. Other than that, yes, just takes a little time.
Charge ya battery mate
It’s a constant struggle
So that's all u do????
