Isn't there some stuff you can get to inject the root that will make it rot away, thought I heard about that before. :stupid

I believe that works on every plant in the world aside from oleander.  Those things are a pain in the ass.  Filled up a 40 yard dumpster with them before I put my block wall in 13 years ago'ish.  My truck wouldn't touch pulling the rootballs out.  Had the fence guys tackle them with their mini-ex as they were digging the footings.  

Soak them in gas and light a match, and keep your fingers crossed for a maybe.   :beer

Gas and a match did come to mind. I'm already on the city sh!t list due to some neighbor hood Nazi. So I need to stay on the down low for now and not be sending any smoke signals.

I started with a pair of loppers and quickly changed to a chainsaw.  I spent my Saturday cutting and started loading, but by Sunday I went to the Home Depot and picked up some manolos to do the work and they knocked it out in a couple of hours.  Money well spent!  That dumpster was full!

Some of the root ball mess that was left.  They were already starting to grow again by the time my fence guy got there to pull them and dig footings for the wall.

Thank you!  I have since built an 18' palapa over the swim up bar, to include a TV and stereo to keep the party hopping.  It was a pool or another big boat in Mexico, so I opted for the pool for the time being.   :pirate

I had a couple that popped a few leaves out. I hit them with some ground clear. The leaves didn't seem to like that.  :laugh  Will see what happens after a few applications of that does, leaves or not.

I did get power being overcast. No where near what being a sunny day will do. I'll have to look at all that once it gets a few days of work in and see what it cranks out.
