I cut down a Black Locust Tree yesterday because it was spreading and actually popping up small trees many yards from the individual tree. That type of root spreading had me concerned. I've also been pulling small sucker growth from my beds for a few years. Anyway, I cut the major roots from the base of tree and wanted to know if this may eliminate the "zombie like" sapling pop ups I've been reading about. If not any suggestions on killing these roots and how long do you think it will take? Thanks
