Killing Bradford Pear Roots After Removal

Bradford pear removed due to roots in water line. How to kill remaining roots?

Herbicide Treatment on Fresh Stump

1. Immediately after cutting: Paint stump with concentrated glyphosate (Roundup).
2. Wait 2 weeks for translocation to roots.
3. Then grind stump.

If Sprouts Appear

• Spray or wipe foliage with glyphosate.
• Wear gloves; avoid contact with desirable plants.
• Repeat as needed.

Do not grind first—live tissue needed to move herbicide to roots.
