Live Oak Stump Sprouts: Kill with Roundup on New Growth

After live oak removal, sprouts from the stump can be stopped by letting them grow 6 inches, then spraying foliage with Roundup (glyphosate).

Method

1. Wait for 6 inches of leafy growth.
2. Spray Roundup on calm day—avoid drift to desirable plants.
3. Herbicide translocates to roots, killing stump.
4. Results in 10–14 days.

Notes

• Generic glyphosate works as well, cheaper.
• Roundup kills any green tissue it hits. Shield nearby plants.
