    Either get the stump grinders in or drill holes and inject root killer.

    Or if you keep cutting off any new growth it will give up eventually, without leaves it can't survive indefinitely.

    What is it? Some give up more easily than others

    This is what the RHS say. You can go to the GC and see what they've got. Rootout is a name I remember but I shouldn't think it matters which one you use

    The kids and their pals having finished school today have just been watching "Shane", believe it or not in the film  Alan Ladd and Van Heflin removed a large tree stump with brute force and ignorance!

    Didn't think about it until I read your post, but I expect it will not be of help to you!

    Cheers!
