Best way to kill scrub trees?
Posted: Apr 16, 2013 10:19 pm
The previous owners/tenants of my home let a bunch of scrub trees grow up on the property. I've cut them down every spring and fall for 5 years, but...they're the most resilient things on the planet next to dandelions and cockroaches. (I'm not sure what they are. Possibly some type of aggressive elm?)
I've had it with trying to kill these things the natural way, and I'm ready to resort to whatever it takes. I do have pets, so I have to be cautious about toxicity to animals. Does anyone have suggestions for ridding my yard of these things once and for all? Some of them have grown so big that I can barely circle my hands around their trunks, so yanking them out isn't really an option unless I plan to rent a Bobcat.
