Re: Identification help?

The dreaded tree of heaven is constantly a battle around the foundation with
the mulberry volunteers.  I have really taken a dislike to those lovely
little smelly, sticky darlings!  First dig about a foot down....cut it
off, drill a hole in it and leave it exposed for pouring - - - sorry - - -
roundup into the hole.  wait a day or 2 till it fully absorbs that and than
fill it with good old Morton salt!  Now if I could just figure out how it
keeps coming up after that a foot or two away....I would be a happy novice
gardener!
