When we moved into our house, there was a China Berry tree growing too close to our pool (in ground) and we were afraid of the roots growing towards the pool. We had the tree chopped down in November of 2003, except that we kept the stump. (We have a little pagoda on the stump.)
Now we have China Berry sprouts coming up everywhere!
I tried poring weed and root killer on the stump (after drilling holes in it) and even poured gasoline on it yet the sprouts keep coming back.
Removing all the roots is not practical- they stretch out for many feet (even under the sidewalk) in several directions. Please, anyone have suggestions? (Oh, yeah, we're here on the west central coast of Florida, north of St. Petersburg.) Please help!
