I removed a 8 inch diameter Norway Maple from my front garden as it was too close to the stump. I elected to leave the stump as is as it was lopped off at ground level and surrounded by hostas, and I was assured that Norways did not send up shoots once cut by my last boss. Well the ???? thing is prolifically sending up new growth from below soil level. Is there a way to kill this thing. I do not have access to a stump grinder right now having just started a new job, nor do I really want to tear up the flower bed getting to it. Keep destroying the new growth (I took me three years to kill two soft maples that had established themselves in my back yard while I was away and the house was rented) or is there a chemical I can drill into the stump to end this tree's misery?
