Hello again,
In an area of our property which we are trying to reclaim after twenty years of neglect, there are 8 meter tall lilacs which are up to 15 cm in diameter. Only the top meter produces leaves. Most of the lilacs are totally bent over by huge pasture roses that engulf the entire hedge. We will cut down the entire hedge to the ground. I assume I will have to use a mattock or similar tool to remove the stumps to ensure that the lilacs and roses do not return. However, I'm hoping that there is an easier way to prevent these plants from regrowing.
Regards,
Garibaldi
