Sissoo Tree Regrowth After Removal: Persistence with Roundup

Sissoo tree removed, main root dug 3 ft, but suckers keep sprouting in lawn. Roundup kills tops, new ones daily. Spray every 7 days—prevent leaves from functioning. Fall critical: herbicide moves to roots with stored nutrients. Persistence wins.

Don't let up.
