Question
Is there a product that can be injected into a stump to help it degrade faster? If there is, what is it? Suzanne

Answer
Ms. Harper:

I do remember a chemical which was used for that purpose.  It was so many years ago that I can not recall what it was.  From dim recall, I believe that it may be potassium nitrate or something like that which was poured into holes bored in the top of the trunk.

Sorry that I can not remember exactly.  Otherwiase, the trunk will require approximately three to five years to rot, depending on size and genus.

Have you considered stump grinding?  Not a perfect solution, it offers a cosmetic relief.

Best wishes.
