Can anyone tell me the best method of killing a Brazilian Pepper tree
that is trying to take over the earth? I have cut down the tree, and
applied Roundup into holes bored down into the stumps. It is still
sending out roots, and sprouting yards away from the main trunk, and
at the trunk itself. Help!!! Thanks, Don

Let it get some decent growth on, then douse it with roundup for woody
plants and cover it with black plastic bags. I had a pyracantha that
wouldn't take a hint, the above treatment finally convinced it to lie
down and die quietly.

Round up only works on the green growing leaves. Read the instructions
for a more complete description.
