    Des it give you any information on the packaging about using close to other plants (possibly in very small print) ? I think it maybe non selective, which l assume means anything in the vicinity will die.

    Will have a gander tomorrow. I believe it does have some details but the situation I have is that the tree grew through the middle of a honeysuckle which is in bloom at the mo and I really don’t want to harm that plant. #firstworldproblems but the smells from the honeysuckle at the mo are amazing :)

    Hello @nicholauslamming,

    It will depend on the stump stuff you have.
    I had a similar situation to you, and we had to make sure the newly cut stump was really wet, then carefully paint on the stuff.  We put a thick plastic compost bag over the stump to keep the chemical in and to keep it damp. We used several thick elastic bands to keep it there, and trimmed off some of the excess compost bag (this was black side out so it didn't look too bad).
    Eighteen months later we took it off and the stump was perished ... just had to clear the debris.

    Hope this helps,
