I've got a similar problem with oaks at the moment, from the bumper crop of acorns i didn't clear properly from the borders last autumn. At the moment i am just taking the tops off, figuring that without their stem and leaves they won't regrow. Is that right, or should i be scrupulously removing roots as well??
We get this every year with our ash trees - the seedlings are all appearing this week - a quick 'tickle' of the soil surface with my sharp Dutch hoe and they're gone
But I might just pot a few up .................

I have a tree which for the first time in 27 years have developed thousands of yellow seeds The seeds create a big mess I do not want to cut down the tree Is it possible to prevent seed forming ? Does anyone know what tree this could be ? Any advice will be appreciated
Right two Years ago I was asked to cut down three Sycamore Trees as they were Undermining the Foundations and also there was an issue of some Huge Branches cracking with 100 mile an hour Winds: The thing is the Man had told me that he had had permission to Cut them down: In Fact the Trees had a preservation order upon them Oh Sh*t ? The Council took him to Court but he had won the First round by saying that the trees were Old and had a Bad core where there was Wood rot within and also there was Woodworm riddled through some of the Branches: and that a Tree surgeon had checked them out; Anyway although He won the Case and that the Council had to pay the Costs of the court: Now the Council Have gave him a Deadline and told him that He has to replace the Trees with new saplings The question is this Do You have a Sapling Growing from Seed either in a Pot or one that could be dug out of the Ground I'd Like three of them

If they're on the lawn, mow. They can't survive a season's mowing. I get assorted tree seeds germinate in grass but they don't last.
I generally pull them up from the garden as I don't hoe (I'd lose all my volunteers). Tree seedlings are easily to pull at this time if year.

If they're new germinations I should think pulling the tops will do it chicky

I pull oaks seedlings. I find if I just chop the top off they tend to reappear in the border. Ones in the lawn don't survive repeated mowing.

If it has formed seeds for the first time after 27 years, do you think it will do the same this year and every year henceforward?
