Garden shrub roots?

I have recently cut down shrubs and some plants in my garden but I can't remove the shrubs to the root so they will definitely grow again..is there a way to kill these using some readymade solution and then dig them out completely..

Garden shrub roots?
I dissent.





Some shrubs, especially older ones may not come back from the roots. It depends on the type of shrub. Now, I don't know what you had there... so I'm shooting blindly into the dark.





Evergreen shrubs are not likely to survive being cut to the ground at all. Depending on where you are in the country, broadleaf evergreen shrubs may not come back either.





Flowering shrubs/ deciduous shrubs are a mixed bag, and again depend on the age and viability of the plant. If you can cut the plant down, below the soil line, all the better. Plants like burning bush (Euonymus alatus), viburnum (Viburnum) and rose of sharon (Hibiscus syriacuse) are not likely to come back.





I hope that this helps


Good luck-
Reply:Go to any garden centre and get some Root Out. apply to FRESHLY cut stumps, tie a plastic bag over to keep rain out and the shrubs will die.. hard bit is digging them out!!!!!!
Reply:there is a way you cant kill them unless u split the root down the middle


the cemicals will run straight of them if just pruned you need to get chemicals inside the roots to kill them completly so split them down the middle then use a chemical weed killer will work
Reply:The best way to kill the roots if they cant be dug out is to use SBK, stump bush killer. This should be mixed with a little oil (old engine oil will do), drill a hole into the centre of the shrub stump, make a few cuts across the centre with your saw. Cover the stump with the mixture and cover this with a sheet of plastic.


SBK is the best on the market but if used incorrectly can kill other plants surrounding the one you want to kill, if you use this you must follow the makers instruction to the letter.
Reply:Round-up is a ready made product that should do the job. Leave the roots in the ground if you like and plant around them, they should decompose quickly. RScott
