what to put on exposed roots of cut down evergreen so it does not grow again

1 Answer

Answer :

You can brush on full strength "Round Up" vegetation killer. It actually would work best on a fresh cut, or by drilling holes into the stump if it is larger than 2-3". We have used this method, recommended by local Master Gardeners, to control invasive buckthorn and have had wonderful results. Don't spray it on, it will kill anything it touches.
