How do i get rid of Mulberry trees once and for all?
Question:I have cut them down, I have trimmed them back. I can't seem to get to their trunks because it is wrapped into the fence. Unfortunately, the trunk begins on my side of the property so the neighbors throw the branches in my yard. I have drilled holes into the trunks and poured in salt... that only killed a smaller tree. What else can i do? They keep growing back lightning fast.
Answers:
Cut the trunk as close to the ground as you can. Lowes, Home Depot, Menards, and other Home improvement, and lawn and garden stores carry a product for killing stumps. you will need this if you can not, or are unable to, dig up all of the roots and stump. Follow the directions and apply the product to the stump. If you don't kill the stump (salt won't work unless it is a very small tree) and roots, then the stump will grow new branches, and the roots may send up sucker trees, as a defense survival mechanism due to the attack on the main plant.
I've dealt with this problem myself, and it is not fun, and is a lot of hard work.
Good luck.
Mulberry trees rule, your an idiot for trying to get rid of them. And most logical people would realise that you have to uproot it to get rid of it.
Go to Home Depot or Lowe's maybe even the marts and get a bottle of Stump Killer. Drill hole in stump add the killer and let the chemicals to the rest.
Be sure to read and follow directions closely.
I am not sure of the chemical name, but there is a herbicide sold under the name round-up. Pour the concentrated round-up, about 2 tablespoons, in the tree trunks the same way you did the salt; it should work.
